Hello folks, wondering if it's possible to selectively enable/disable a Samsung 960 m.2 drive on an Asus Rampage V (not the newer 10 version) using only the BIOS ?
I've been making use of the bios profiles feature to allow me to set up multiple boot & storage drive options together with custom BIOS settings. Each boot drive group is Windows-isolated from the other (I'm a developer and need fully isolated test systems).
This worked well and saved me a lot of money, that is until I swapped out one of the sata boot drives for the m.2 drive. Now, the m.2 boot drive is always visible when any of the other boot drives are used - not what I want - and unless I've missed something I can't see a BIOS option to disable it. Is there any way I can do this using only the BIOS ? The manual does say that populating the 8_4 pcie lane with a x8 or higher card will disable the m.2 function but this would be very impractical since I change profiles frequently.
If this can't be done does anyone know of a motherboard that does allow this?
