I've collected the hardware IDs for all the optane models. Using them I modded the inf of intel 1.8.0.1011 driver and made it compatible with optane memory 16GB/32GB and optane ssd P4800x 375GB.

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2522.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) Optane Memory 8000p Series"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A2BA.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) Optane Memory 8000p Series"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2701.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) Optane SSD DC P4800x Series"
 

Here is the driver I modded. It has been tested on all the drives I added. But the problem is, since it doesn't have a valid signature, it can't be loaded during windows installation process, so we'll still have to intergrate the generic nvme drivers update into the installation disk, which often cause crashes during installation.

Could you update your modded intel nvme driver to include the support for these drives?

Thanks.

@Fernando

Thanks a lot :P testing now.

BTW could I put these on a Chinese forum? There's a lot of people who need this driver as far as I know.

Tested on a P4800x and optane memory 16GB, the driver works fine in system, but it's still blocked during windows installation, saying there's no certificated driver in the folder. Any workaround for this？

Trying to find whatever is in control of that certification system now.

Thx.

I was trying on a usb windows 7 installation disk. Is there a way to import the winraid certificate to the windows 7 installation disk? Thanks.

BTW the driver shows no problem during IO tests like 4K QD256 random write, and ata commands like secure erase works fine too. So it should be ready to go.

That is where the problem came from... I can't load the driver manually during windows installation, it reports that no signed driver can be found.

Just got time to test on several versions of windows 7 installation disks, none of them can recognize it(tested on ultimate, enterprise and embedded essential version)

So the only way to use a modded driver during windows setup is to intergrate in into the wim file?

Are there anything I can do with that signature checking mechanism? I remember it's done by someone before, I'll see what I can find.

I see. I will investigate further to see if there is a way to bypass that verification.

BTW you can update your support list for your modded driver, I've send this to several of my friend and no problem found so far. :P

These drivers are 'The Answer' for Optane on Ryzen!
(In this case a 58GB 800p)

Stock Windows 10 driver:

To put that in perspective:
A NVMe4 Corsair MP600 manages about 62 MB/s in the all important Q1T1 RND4K.
These drivers are giving about 92 MB/s more than the stock Windows driver..!
That's 230MB/s more than the MP600 can do in total and at much lower latencies!
(59 - 195 - 72 uS)

NB!!!
There seems to be a serious issue with the later

The RND4K Q32T16 numbers are BAD!!!
