Being bored, and looking at the initial bios now that its on the website, while looking at the BIOS structure for the AW17 R2 Bios version A00, I have to ask being a new machine, why did the engineers use "Intel(R) RAID for SATA - v10.0.0.1046"?? We have M.2 cards and this BIOS will not support proper TRIM support, nor proper RAID support with these cards. Since the M.2 looks to be Sata3 based and not PCIe based, why the decision to use a RAID OROM that's from 2010??? Can we get at least a v13 raid orom without modifying the BIOS and voiding warranty for BIOS A01? This is using HM87 Express and therefore, 12.8 and lower isn't even properly supported!! Otherwise, we can't use proper RAID with the m.2 cards without definite data loss.. Thanks.

Update: M18X R2 BIOS A11, RAID Orom is v11.6.0.1702....

AW17 R1 BIOS A14 has v12.0.0.1783

AW18 BIOS A10  has v12.0.0.1783 also

So, why does AW17 R2 have v10.0.0.1046?? Possibly just an oversight? Can this be passed on to a Dell Engineer? This makes no sense and it won't allow us to use our M.2 drives in a proper and SAFE RAID without 13.0 or higher. Thanks again!
