I just checked and I'm using BIOS version F2 which is the latest available. My hardware revision is v1.1. It sounds like I may be out of luck. The device does have a SATA3 port but I was hoping not to cram an entire 2.5" SSD in there to cut down on heat since it's fanless. Do I have any other options? - Grant
