    Hi,
    I tried to install a SANDISK ULTRA PLUS 128Gb SSD in my MSI GX660 but it's not recognized in AHCI mode.
    I found a link to the custom BIOS made by majster_msi that enables AHCI for all SSD on this laptop but it's a dead link.
    Can someone provide me a fresh link please, I deeply need that BIOS. I'm stuck!

    Thank you all

    Many Thanks

    Hi,

    I only found out after buying my SSD that the GX660r Stock Bios will not support SSD´s (almost all?) so I would really appreciate it if majster msi or someone could upload the modded Bios again, all links are dead :( and I can not find out how to directly write Majster MSI so I hope he see´s it here!! :)

    THANKS a lot!

    Im a bit confused from reading the above, can u pls confirm that this bios is safe for GX660? or is it just for the R version.
    Link still works btw, many thanks!
