I wonder if there is better Generic NVMe driver for Win7, as the one from MS hotfix doesn't report SMART values.

BTW which driver in FlashBoot Pro 3.3d+ provides?

@roytam1:
The choice of the best NVMe driver depends not only on the used OS, but on the manufacturer of the NVMe SSD and its Controller as well.
Have you already done a look into the first 2 posts of >this< thread? There I am offering some mod+signed generic NVMe drivers.

My advice: Stick to the MS NVMe driver. If you want to see the S.M.A.R.T. values, I recommend to use a tool like CrystalDiskInfo.

@Fernando:
You're talking about Win10's driver, it is different from Win7's stornvme.sys driver.
update CDI to 8.9.0a make no difference here.

I confirm that Windows 7 NVMe driver doesn't support SMART atributes reporting.

@roytam1
Try the Samsung driver, but be prepared for a recovery if it doesn't work.
