I certainly hope the native NVMe driver performs better in Windows 10 and вЂњWindows Server 2016вЂќ.

Hopefully, Microsoft will improve the performance of their native NVMe driver in a future update for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1.

My fear is that it will be very common for many server administrators to simply install their NVMe device, start the server, and then think everything is ok, since Windows recognized the device and it seems to be working. If you have any NVMe storage devices, you should make absolutely sure that you are using the vendor supplied NVMe driver rather than the generic Microsoft NVMe driver. This sounds pretty similar to the difference between write-back and write-through caching for RAID controllers. For the same access traces, this situation does not happen with the Microsoft AHCI driver.вЂќ

These FUA commands bypass the DRAM cache on the SSD and directly write to the flash, increasing the response time and also lowering bandwidth. вЂњthe performance difference was due to the Microsoft NVMe driver creating FUA (Force Unit Access) I/O write commands. Their information (from Samsung) was that Microsoft has also released a hotfix to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that gives native NVMe support to the operating system.ДЄnandtech has had similar results with several different NVMe devices. I wrote about my experiences with the native NVMe driver last October.

This driver works, but does not offer the best performance.

Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 have a native NVMe driver that allows NVMe devices to be automatically recognized by Windows. NVMe is being pushed as a modern replacement for the old Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) that most flash storage devices are still using, and all indications are that NVMe will really start to become more popular and more affordable in 2015/2016. NVM Express provides a standards-based approach enabling broad ecosystem adoption and PCIe SSD interoperability.вЂќ NVM Express significantly improves both random and sequential performance by reducing latency, enabling high levels of parallelism, and streamlining the command set while providing support for security, end-to-end data protection, and other Client and Enterprise features users need. вЂњNVM Express is architected from the ground up for Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). Even though this technology is most relevant for server workloads, there are also some affordable new NVMe devices meant for client devices and workloads. It gives lower storage latency and much higher queue depths. Lastly, AHCI is fine.Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is a specification for accessing solid-state drives (SSDs) attached through the PCI Express (PCIe) bus. I personally use the standard one, with no problems whatsoever. At least Samsung hasn't released any, as it runs fine with the Standard NVMe one. There is no Samsung NVMe driver for the 980 Pro.

Is the NVMe driver for 980 Pro compatible with AHCI? Driver and firmware were downloaded from Samsung website today and I verified they were for the 980 Pro. It delivers read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s, making it 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs*. With SamsungвЂ™s in-house controller for PCIe 4.0 SSD, the 980 PRO is optimized for speed. How fast is the NVM Express SSD in the 980 pro? * The NVM ExpressВ® design mark is a registered trademark of NVM Express, Inc. * Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs. 980 PRO delivers 2x the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0, while maintaining compatibility with PCIe 3.0.

What SSD is compatible with the Samsung 980 pro? Unleash the power of the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD for next-level computing. This driver supports only Samsung NVMeв„ў SSD 970 PRO, 970 EVO, 970 EVO Plus, 960 PRO, 960 EVO and 950 PRO. There is also no ETA on a possible release date for it either. Info about Samsung Ssd Pro 980 Driver Nvme Does the Samsung NVMe driver support the 980 series of drives? Unfortunately (at this moment) the Samsung NVMe Driver does not support the 980 Series of drives.
