I get those scores also when I enable the cache on the disk drive.
But when i reboot the PC, the caching is disabled again.
I have to enabled it every time i reboot the system.

BTW: the OS is installed on this device, could this be the reason why it's disables the write cache when i reboot?

@dirkdvs
So, you get the 2 box disabled after each reboot with your System SSD SM961.
And after setting the 2 boxes and doing a shut down and then a PC Restart is it the same thing ?

By the way can you capture a CrystalDiskinfo of your SM961 device with all SMART datas readable ?

Fernando, thanks once again for this wonderful forum and loads of useful info that you gathered!

So before reinstalling Windows on my ASUS MAXIMUS V GENE, I decided to research the latest drivers for my motherboard. And these ASMedia 106x SATA3 controller drivers really bother me that I can't sleep :)

At first I installed the latest driver v3.2.1.0 (recommended here) and was quite happy as everything looked nice and neat in Device Manager:


I was happy until I realised I have this "Safely Remove" notification for the drive connected to ASMedia controller. Again thanks to your forums, I found that in older version (I had v1.3.8.0, but read in v1.4.1.0 it's also present) there is an extra tab called Policies, which allows to disable the "Safely Remove" feature:


At this point I am completely confused.. Why even update drivers for ASMedia Sata Controller if there is no performance difference (or is there?) but the functionality is reduced? The only minor thing is that it doesn't look so neat now in Device Manager as now there are these useless ATA Channel 0 and 1 devices listed. But most people don't really care unless they are perfectionists like me :P

Perhaps in the main thread you could leave a mention about that and let people decide themselves what's more important for them:
1) higher driver version number (v3.2.1.0) with no evident benefit,
2) or the older driver (v1.4.1.0) which allows to remove the "Safely Remove" notification.

Good luck and cheers!

I don't think, that the performance of the driver has the highest priority for the chipset resp. storage device manufacturers, when they are working on a new driver version. Much more important are the stability and the elimination of bugs.
Why do you think, that the functionality of the new drivers is reduced? Is the appearance of the "Safely remove" notification in your eyes a lack of the driver's functionality?

Hello,

I've also tried to install Complete OCZ NVMe Drivers and Installer Set v1.2.126.843 for THNSN5512GPUK NVMe TOSHIBA 512GB but it's not recognized.

Do you guys have any idea why ?

thanks in advance !

Thanks for replying.

No i haven't asked OCZ support.
I have a Dell XPS, so I don't think I'll be getting an answer from OCZ.

Hi,

Has anyone been able to locate the correct driver for a SK Hynix pc300 nvme 512gb ssd?
I's for an XPS 15 9550 and I'm trying to install Win 7 Ext on

I've previously had to build 5 XPS 15's before but they all had the Samsung drives which I was able to download via the site.
Any help would be massively appreciated as it's driving me mad.

Chris
