thank you very much, i really appreciated
before i proceed, which are performance difference between toshiba and samsung driver? i mean, i actually have installed original win10 x64 builtin driver, does it worth upgrade them? why dell did not provide any driver update for ssd? why samsung or toshiba should be better respect the other? thank you

Hello, for mine kingston a2000 with win7 i should use that generic phison ones? I installed from current booted windows on ssd sata and it detects drive, as ssd speed is fine, but i want reinstall win7 now on nvme. Thanks for answer

@MDM:
Confirmed, SSDs on ASmedia ports do use ASmedia driver. I've checked with CrystalDiskInfo and Windows Optimize and Defragment, seems TRIM is supported too.
If I remove ASMedia drivers, do Windows 10 generic drivers support TRIM, NCQ, and so on?

@Fernando:
Actually I can boot W7 and W10 from ASmedia just fine, I think a bit older motherboards had issue booting from 3rd party SATA controllers.
Also, these extra ASMedia SATA III ports are not as good as Intel's SATA III, but since these are older motherboards, you only get TWO of Intel's SATA III ports, rest are SATA II, so with SSDs you either sacrifice max big file speeds (small file transfers/queues AFAIK are way slower and won't saturate even SATA II, right?), or you get a half-way SATA III performance with 3rd party controllers.

Would you recommend ASMedia 3.x.x.x on Windows 10 in any case?

Sadly, I tried load that one and win7 installer detected mine nvme but after first reboot of installing I got bsod, I didn't even see bsod code or name cuz it reboots after 1s or less... For now I installed win10 ltsc on that nvme
Of course I am installing on uefi gpt, microsoft hotfixes are included in mine iso
I know I could just clone mine current win7 instalation from sata ssd, but I prefer clean install on nvme instead that way..

Ye sure, both disabled
Mine specs:
Ryzen 2700
B450 tomahawk max
32gb ddr4
kingston a2000 500gb nvme

I don't get why from installed system on sata I get access to nvme without aby problem, I can access mine data or run benchmarks
Someone maybe here have that drive and somehow clean installed win7 and can help me?

@Fernando:
Sry,but one noob question, when i am loading driver i need integrate it anyway to install.wim and boot.wim? Maybe it didnt detect drive after reboot due i didnt add that drivers to iso

Seems like I found way to install, I used win10 installer with nvme drivers to win7 install.wim and instalation completed
Now I will install that better phison drivers and done :D
But i see one problem, sometimes system like freeze when i am installing programs (for few seconds) and that doesnt happen on win10 or on sata ssd with 7
I should try modded samsung drivers instead?

Yes, try it! The modded Samsung NVMe driver cannot be used from scratch, but may be the best alternative once the OS is up and running.
