Does the BIOS have the option of running the OS thru a SSDD for fast booting?

Claudia Vera,No special BIOS setting is needed; if you install a Solid State Drive into the system and install an O/S onto it, you can set it as the boot device and run from the SSD. Please note that proper installation an SSD or other component - internal or external - that does not damage the system will *not* void your warranty.

Be sure to know what you are doing- For an ssd to use full speed capability the bios sata interface must be set to AHCI, not IDE before installing the new SSD.

Yes, one can press "F12" just after powering on to show a BIOS boot screen and choose the USB to boot from. (one has to press "F12" a couple of times quickly!"

No, it uses a special kind of msata which has built in raid controller and also bios is locked to raid mode.

I used a SATA drive for the boot disk and it was running Windows Vista.It did have an IDE CD-ROM drive that worked fine.I think the BIOS allows you to set the IDE drive as the boot, but I no longer have the system with me.My family member went back to their home, out of state, so I have no way of testing.

I have not tried booting from it yet. However, if your CPU has options to allow you to select these media, I would think you can.

Exactly. Asus Bios managment makes it a snap. Verify before updating you may already have the lastest installed.

It should as it would appear as one of your HDDs in the bios which you can then select as a boot drive

It wasn't for me. I have a regular BIOS system (not the UEFI) so I was not able to use any drives connected to it to boot from. But it does work well for secondary drives.

Yes, the drive is compatible and would probably boost your performance if employed as a boot drive.

To the best of my knowledge yes. Reason I say this is USB boot to flash bios works fine

With my ASUS UEFI BIOS my boot priority allows me to choose any device that has boot software to boot from. I can boot from an external HDD or a flash drive or DVD.

Oung S., Yes, you can install an SSD into the unit and use it at the primary boot device after installing an O/S on it.

Hey, more RAM, better performance; faster CPU, better performance.The SSD is the best boot speed upgrade. Incredible!Put your operating system on it for a new experience.No moving parts. Maybe approaches light speed. <Grins>Best wishes.

Hi - I've been running 8.1 without issue for about 2 months now. I believe I've launched each of the various utils they offer at least once - don't recall any major problems. I did settle at one step below the ultra fast boot to allow the option to enter BIOS on boot.

yes, you can if you choose. you'd just have to set the boot order correctly in the BIOS

Sure do! Every one that we have ordered we have put an ssd and clean install of windows 7. Turn off uefi mode in bios.

Yes, you can install windows through USB on this motherboard. That's how I installed windows 7. Also yes, the bios is a UEFI. It doesn't have any overclocking options, however.
