I just discovered you already support these drives in the modded driver, sorry I did not realise they are actually the 8000p series! The modded driver loads fine after installing the cert, it seems stable and read performance is a little higher in benchmarks but there is a lot of variation so it's hard to say. Thanks anyway! 8 )

I have a WindowsToGo drive I use to troubleshoot PC for clients. The other day I came across a Dell XPS 13" 9360 w/ an NVMe SSD that wasn't booting. In attempt to retrieve the data, I booted using my USB flash w/ Windows 10 ver. 1709 and to my surprise Windows 10 couldn't detect the PCIe SSD via disk management.

I had to download the Intel RST driver from Dell here --> http://dell.to/2FKUU4a -- version 15.7.5.1025, A03 -- and manually inject it before I was able to see the NVMe SSD. So my first question was, does Windows 10 have issues natively seeing PCIe NVME SSD in RAID or AHCI mode?

Also, I was thinking of downloading your latest, v11 & up AHCI/RAID + NVMe drivers and injecting them into my WindowsToGo USB to expand the driver store (& thus SSD compatibility) of my flash drive.

Are all the listed drivers from here -- Intel RST/RSTe Drivers (newest: v16.0.1.1008/v5.3.0.1388 WHQL) -- compatible with NVMe SSD?

I don't have the Device ID for the PC but here is the original Intel RST driver I retrieved from the machine if that helps -- http://bit.ly/2EaAMLF

@Fernando:
Thnx for the informative post.

If I may ask, why do you recommend specifically integrating the Intel RST RAID driver v15.7.6.1027 versus the 15.8 or 15.9 series from your Intel RST/RSTe Drivers (newest: v16.0.1.1008/v5.3.0.1388 WHQL). Would it be a bad idea to integrate RST(e) v14.8.16.1063 , v15.9.1.1018 & v16.0.1.1008 as well? Am trying to make my WindowsToGo USB to be compatible with as many Intel, AMD, Lite-On, e.t.c NVMe SSDs as possible.

And if I integrate the v15.7.6.1027 driver, should I not bother with the Intel RST(e) NVMe RAID drivers v15.2.7.1042 WHQL from your thread here --> Recommended AHCI/RAID and NVMe Drivers

Thanks in advance...

@Fernando:
Thanks for the advice.

In that case I will go with your recommendation and use the Intel RST(e) v15.7.6.1027 driver. Now can I also add AMD, Lite-On and other brand NVMe drivers to the same Win10 image with no issues as long as I pick one driver from each brand?

Understood... I am learning a lot from this excellent forum. Thnx

What you exactly did on the new MOD drivers???
I mean you just only enable the use of the appropiate sys files to work with the new PM981 M.2???

With your new MOD now I'm using your driver. But I can't see the PM981 labeled on the appropiate category node. Is there anything else I can do in order to improve my benchmarks?

Thanks

Fernando,
Sorry for my beginner skill.

How to install your MOD driver for PM981 M.2?
I just bought Lenovo ThinkPad T470s with 6th gen CPU and want to clean install Win7 x64.
But I couldn't find the PM981 driver since I download from your link, but it still not detected the PM981.
Should I add the driver by dism or browse externally?

Thanks
