Sniper M3 BIOS settings on 2 boards running same version differ

Hi,

I have 2 complete computers running Sniper M3 boards. They are very similar but differ hardware wise in these ways:

Computer 1:
Samsung SSD
DVD-drive connected on SATA-port 2
ATI 7950 Windforce

Computer 2:
Intel SSD
DVD-drive connected on SATA-port 1
Geforce 660Ti

These are the hardware differences. Both run the same bios (F9) and Windows 8.1.

Now to the funny part... the one with Intel SSD shows 3 boot options and three units to sort boot order: Windows, Intel SSD and the DVD-drive. The other one shows only two: Samsung SSD and DVD-drive. Why is this?

Seriously make me think it is something with controller on the Samsung SSD.   Samsung makes their own controller. I am building a friend a computer next  week using the Samsung SSD, wonder what it will show I am not using the sniper though so will rule out one or the other.

If it does it on the one I am building that rules out your motherboard...
If it doesn't do it that will rule out the Samsung SSD.
 
Be 4 or 5 days before I would know, Hopefully someone else using a Samsung SSD will post.
