So I updated the driver back to the miniport driver again and uninstalled it (including all software). Pointed to the Standard NVM Express Controller.
Limitation of the OS.Ĭlick to expand.I updated the driver. I can't guarantee you a Samsung drive would be any better due to how the hotfix works you can find threads where 970 EVOs are listed as SCSI under Windows 7 for example. Yeah, your device is basically in SCSI compatibility mode. Keep in mind that these TLC drives tend to have 16KB page file sizes - smallest unit a SSD can write - and therefore this distinction is not really relevant. 4Kn is technically superior but most drives still come as 512e (which has better compatibility). Enterprise drives are an exception though.Īs for the sector size converter - 512e or 4Kn are the options. People who are used to older SSDs don't understand this - it's because NVMe devices by design follow a standard and you're dealing with a direct PCIe connection.
After that, there hasn't been any major changes. The original update - 11.0 to 12.1 - did make for more consistent SLC performance. I should say that you don't need to worry about firmware with these drives.
