Hi, My new ASRock X570 Taichi Razer Edition will not POST when 1 or 2 WD SN850 1TB NVMe M2 drives are installed in any M2 slot. The Dr Bios error code shown is 64, then the motherboard powers off. An old Samsung 970 EVO+ works just fine. I need the SN850 drives to work. The motherboard came with BIOS 1.20, I upgraded it to 1.42, still no support. Will the SN850 drives be supported or should I return them? I don't want to return them, as they're awesome SSDs. I want them to work! Is there any new test/beta BIOS I can try? |

Amazingly it actually worked! I confirm that BIOS 1.44 is the MINIMUM version you need to POST with a WD SN850 SSD installed. I have all three NVMe slots populated, 2xSN850 in slots 1 and 2 and a 970 EVO+ in slot 3. All drives detected, Windows booted and disk partition tools were able to partition the SN850s OK. I found the BIOS here: "All BIOS Updates Week 17 - 2021" https://botflakes.github.io/ASRockWiki/beta_bios/info/biosUpdates" rel="nofollow - https://botflakes.github.io/ASRockWiki/beta_bios/info/biosUpdates "X570 Taichi Razer Edition(1.44)ROM.zip" SHA-1 of the zip file is: 3E9685A29250FEF578F9E1CABB04456E3B121C46 Questions: * Why isn't this on the main ASRock site? * Where are the release notes for the 1.44 BIOS? * Why hasn't the Storage QVL been updated yet? ASRock, you can do better! |
