Ahh, I saw the sig and thought you already had one somehow. Where I am I just looked and Amazon will have the 950 on 10-29-2015 while Newegg will have it on 12-1-2015. Be interesting to see what you think once you get it. I'll be looking...

Installation of NVMe driver for SM950 PRO needs the physical presence in the PC to be done.

Request:
It woiuld be great, if someone is able to get the "pure" driver extracted from the EXE file and uploads the files.

ASMedia ASM106x SATA3 drivers v3.1.7.0 (WinXP/2k3) - v3.1.8.0 (Vista->Win10) digitally-signed by WHQL :

Edited for accuracy, thanks to Fernando's remark

That's what I like with your site: precision above all.
So yes, SCSI Stor WinXP/2k3 drivers are still at v3.1.7.0, but they are this time WHQL signed.
I've edited my post for accuracy.

Hello all,

I just registered to the site, have been visiting for awhile and have tested some of the drivers linked here. Along those lines I wished to report that a few days ago I downloaded the Asmedia 106X 3.1.8.0 driver and installed it on a clean Win 7 Ultimate X64 install. This driver caused a BSOD during install, not something I expected I must say. Event viewer showed is was a crash by the driver. After reboot Device Manager showed driver successfully installed and controller working normally.

I previously had a version 2.0.8.1 driver installed and I had run CrystalDiskMark benchmark on an SSD drive. I ran the benchmark against the new 3.1.8.0 driver and found that performance showed a only a slight increase in read performance and a degraded write performance. I am wondering if the driver linked by shroeder is a different build than what I got?

I had better performance numbers from the 3.1.7.0 driver I found here a short time ago in a Win 10 install so was considering moving to that driver in this Win 7 install but if there is some difference in what I have now and what shroeder links to I might give the 3.1.8.0 another try!

Thanks for any input.

@ Tech-etc
Just be aware that performance for the same revision of an asmedia sata driver might be inconsistent between Win10 and Win7 because they don't use the same driver :
Vista-Win7 use asstor32.sys / asstor64.sys
Win8-Win10 use asstahci32.sys / asstahci64.sys

Also between v2.0.8.1 and v3.1.8.0, there is maybe 6 revisions of the driver in which you may be able to find the best one for your configuration.

Final remark : considering the large difference in write performance in your screenshots, are you sure that the write-caching parameters in device manager are identical between your 2 runs ?
