well,what can i say,link was legit,inf was in order,untouched and signed.i got no way of testing it.the link has been removed

I have a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB NVMe drive. My motherboard supports NVMe boot drives via an PCIe adapter... HP Z Turbo Drive G2 or similar function PCIe 4X cards. I’ve used several different testing applications and my NVMe performance seemed much lower than expected using the standard Windows 10 driver. I then installed the newest Samsung driver and the performance was even slower. Then I discovered this website and installed the driver for a Dell or HP “Generic 64bit Samsung NVMe driver v2.0.8.1611” for Windows 10 and Wow! The performance improved by almost 20%. My question is why this driver performs so much better than the others.

I normally use Passmark’s test.
Your modded driver:

Microsoft default driver:

Samsung’s latest driver:

Most of the time Microsoft’s driver will outperformed the latest Samsung one. As you can see, your modded version wins.

UPDATE: I tried Phison NVMe driver 1.5.0.0 WHQL... it’s the fastest driver so far. Amazing results. Much better than the modded Samsung driver.

My Current System:
HP Z840 WorkStation; Dual Intel E5-2687W v4@3.0 GHz, 64 GB (8X8) Samsung DDR4-2400 EEC/Reg ; Nvidia RTX 2070 Super FE; Samsung NVMe 970 EVO Plus 500 GB; ASUS RT-AX92U; Corsair K95 Platinum XT, M65 PRO RGB; Samsung 27" CRG5; Windows 10 Pro x64.

Hello. Sorry if it already been ask before. What driver should I use for WD Black SN850 on Windows 7 x64? Please tell me, especially if there is none drivers for that ssd. This will be the last point for choose between WD and 980 Pro.
As I know, 980 Pro using NVMe v1.3c and WD is using v1.4. So I'm afraid that MS drivers are, maybe, too old for been working with WD SSD. Can someone clarify this for me?

For the Win7 x64 installation you can either integrate the MS NVMe Hotfixes or load the generic Phison NVme driver, but once the OS is up and booting properly I recommend to install the "mod+signed generic 64bit Samsung NVMe driver v3.3.0.2003 for Win7 x64" (don\'t forget to import the Win-RAID CA Certificate before starting the installation).

Some Western Digital NVMe Controllers are supported by the WD/HGST NVMe drivers v3.0.1902.40413 WHQL. Please check the HardwareIDs of the on-board NVMe Controller.

All NVMe SSDs resp. their NVMe Controller will work with the MS Hotfix NVMe driver from scratch and with the moddded generic Samsung NVMe driver v3.3.0.2003, if installed after the OS installation.

1. Which specific NVMe driver did you install?

@Fernando - re post no2 - Microsoft NVMe driver Hotfixes for Win7/Server 2008 R2 - KB2990941-v3. there seems to be a later version of that driver in KB3125574. I am finding v6.1.7601.18615 and v6.1.7601.23403(7601.23403 is my current w7 build number. I am updating a w7 64bit image to EOL WU satisfied so there may be a later driver. I will check and report and can upload the "pure" extracted driver files(64bit only im afraid).
