@bmw_e30:
The first and only Intel drivers, which support the HardwareIDs of the device named "Intel Volume Management Device NVMe Raid Controller", are the Intel RSTe drivers v5.3.1.1020 WHQL dated 12/05/2017.
You can find the drivers within the start post of >this< thread.

@Fernando Does your modded Samsung Nvme driver work on PM 951 w/o any issues?

@Vasudev:
The usability of a certain NVMe driver for a specific NVMe SSD depends on the DeviceID of the SSD's in-box NVMe Controller. The related DeviceID has to be listed within the file named secnvme.inf. So you can find out yourself, whether the original Samsung driver natively supports the Samsung PM951 SSD or whether you have to choose the mod+signed driver variant.
AFAIK the NVMe Controller of the Samsung PM951 SSD is natively supported by the latest original Samsung NVMe drivers v2.3.0.1709.

@Fernando Yes Samsung Nvme driver recognises Pm951. But like I mentioned last time, it has a strange bug when rebooting. You get Boot media missing error after a reboot but secnvme works perfectly if one does a shutdown and not a restart. Couple of guys mentioned t was a FW level issue with some 950 pros and PM951. Unfortunately, PM series don't have a upgradeable FW.

Samsung doesn't offer a FW update for OEM products, but what lets you think, that is impossible to update a buggy Samsung NVMe SSD Firmware?
It is the task of the OEMs to offer a bug fixed Firmware for the Samsung PM951 SSD, which they have put into their product (incl. the related FW Installer).

H. OCZ (Toshiba) NVMe Drivers
Download links and infos:
latest OCZ/Toshiba NVMe drivers for Win7-10 (32/64bit):
original drivers:
>"pure" 32bit OCZ NVMe driver v1.2.126.843 WHQL< (>MIRROR<)
>"pure" 64bit OCZ NVMe driver v1.2.126.843 WHQL< (>MIRROR<)
>Complete OCZ NVMe Drivers and Installer Set v1.2.126.843< (>MIRROR<)

All these OCZ NVMe drivers are dated 05/13/2016 and WHQL certified. The Set is dated 06/10/2016. Supported are the OCZ/Toshiba NVMe Controllers "ZD6000 Series", "RD400" and "XG3". Thanks to 100PIER for the link to the source package.
mod+signed drivers:
>"pure" 32bit OCZ NVMe driver v1.2.126.843 mod+signed by me (at 01/18/2018)< (>MIRROR<)
>"pure" 64bit OCZ NVMe driver v1.2.126.843 mod+signed by me (at 01/18/2018)< (>MIRROR<)

These mod+signed drivers additionally do support the Toshiba "XG4" NVMe Controllers with the DeviceIDs DEV_0103 and DEV_0115 and the "XG5" ones with the DeviceID DEV_0116. Thanks to alvarezegam and Jan for having tested them.

It seems that OCZ driver also works with Toshiba XG4 series.

You can manually install each driver, which is compatible with the the related Controller, even if its HardwareIDs are not listed within the INF file, but you have to force the installation by using the "Have Disk" option, navigating to the compatible INF file and choosing the best matching (but wrong) Controller model.

E. Lite-On NVMe Drivers (for Plextor SSDs)

Download links and infos:
Latest NVMe drivers for Plextor SSDs:
>32bit Lite-On NVMe driver v1.4.0.0. WHQL for Plextor SSDs< (>MIRROR<)
>64bit Lite-On NVMe driver v1.4.0.0 WHQL for Plextor SSDs< (>MIRROR<)

These Lite-On NVMe drivers are dated 03/09/2016, WHQL certified and usable with all Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up (x86/x64). They do only support NVMe Controllers with the HardwareIDs VEN_14A4&DEV_22F1. Thanks to JanCerny for the info and the link to the source package.

I just bought an Liteon CX2-8B256-Q11 (Dell version) on eBay. It has HardwareID VEN_14A4&DEV_2200, Plextor driver for VEN_14A4&DEV_22F1 is partially compatible - as system drive does not boot up (freeze on blank screen). As secondary drive working smoothly as MS driver but it showing up as a "Removable Disk Drive" on task bar.

System config:

Supermicro X9DAi with injected NVMe module (uncompressed NvmExpressDxE_3)
performance tweaks: C-State - No limit, Windows Power Management - Maximum performance, Maximum Payload 256 bytes, Maximum Read Request 4096 bytes
Windows 10 Pro 1709 x64
JZLL adapter in slot PCIe #3 (bifurcation set to x4x4x8, due performance issues on x16 mode)

Could you please be so kind to create modified driver?

I'm trying to download the pure Samsung windows 7 x64 NVME drivers, but I can't open the rar file. I've tried downloading from the mirror but I get the same error. I've tried Winrar, Winzip, and 7z but all give me an error.

@Centurin:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
All *.RAR archives, which I have uploaded to my MEGA and OneDrive accounts, are compressed by using WinRAR v5.xx. So you should use an actual WinRAR version with a similar compression ability.

Attached is the mod+signed 64bit Lite-On NVMe driver v1.4.0.0, which hopefully will support the NVMe Controller of your Lite-On NVMe SSD.
Good luck!

Thank you! I've been using an ancient Winrar that I've had for years and never had a problem. I updated it and the drivers opened fine. Much appreciated.
