We have been using the Intel DC S3500 drive in our systems without issue. With the obsolesence of the S3500, we have attempted to move to the Intel DC S3520 but receive the following error:
We boot in IDE mode setting in the BIOS and cannot use AHCI mode (since it takes a registry entry modification to move a IDE drive into an AHCI system). We have never had issues before. Here is a statement from the board manufacturer:
Regarding the Intel S3520 SSD with NuPRO-E320, the error is because under IDE mode the BIOS needs to send ATA commands to the device. When the BIOS executes the command 91h (initialize device parameters) the S3520 does not support this command, so the error occurs.
The NuPRO-E320uses Intel® Q45 and ICH10 chipset, while the NuPRO-E42uses Intel® Q87chipset. NuPRO-E42chipset supports newer model of SSD’s, so it does not have this problem.
Is there any way that a new firmware release to fix this issue?
Thanks.
