   Hi there.

   There are basically only these available:
   — Microsoft’s own «generic» NVMe driver (included in Windows 8 to 10, optional download for Windows 7)
   — Intel NVMe driver (only for Intel SSDs, for all Windows from version 7 to 10, split to two ranges: DATACENTER and CLIENT)
   — Samsung NVMe driver (only for Samsung SSDs, for Windows 7 to 10)
   — OCZ / Toshiba driver (Windows 7 to 10, but only for model RD400/RD400A, none else)
   — Open Fabrics Alliance NVMe driver (SHOULD run on any Windows OS from 7 to 10 and with ANY NVMe device!!)

   <EDIT: I found Lite-On NVMe drivers on win-raid.com, they are obviously meant for Plextor SSDs. I will link them below for completeness>

   I do not know of any other NVMe drivers. if you do, please post a link to them.

   So what if you buy say a Kingston NVMe SSD or a Patriot one? What driver should you use? The generic MS one? It seems so …

   Details to the drivers from above:

   This driver is already installed in your OS and ready to use from the start. If you install Windows 8 or newer, you do that like any other OS install and you do not have to worry about your NVMe drives don’t get recognized.
   Important to know:
   This driver, even on Windows 10, only supports the NVMe specs until revision 1.0e, that means some functions introduced in 1.1 or higher don’t get to your drive.
   Read more about this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express
   And to add more to this: You probably won’t get the maximum speed out of your SSD. Back then running my Intel SSD at PCIe 2.0 x2 (theory: 1GB/s max.) had way better numbers with the Intel driver (about 850MB/s read and 800MB/s write) than the Microsoft one (only about 600MB/s read and 500MB/s write).
   There are two «hotfixes» available to those needing the NVMe capability on Windows 7 (to install the OS), get them from here:

   https://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/kbhotfix.aspx?kbnum=2990941&kbln=en-US
   https://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/kbhotfix.aspx?kbnum=3087873&kbln=en-US

   Note: You have to integrate them into your Windows 7 ISO.

   Intel’s dedicated NVMe drivers are split to two different groups, CLIENT versions and DATACENTER versions. I do not know why, because my results were almost identical comparing these two, somebody may explain this to me. Those drivers give you a better performance for your Intel NVMe drive than the generic MS driver, but are only meant for Intel SSDs, they won’t work on other ones (tried with my Samsung SSD).
   AFAIK those support the highest revision of NVMe (1.3b if I am right).
   Get the driver from:

   https://downloadcenter.intel.com

   … and search for your specific model and OS. Intel provides those in EXE files or as «pure INF» zipped for you to extract and use during the Windows setup («F6 drivers»).

   Intel offers additional NVMe drivers through their RST software suite! (thx @Monstieur ! )

   Samsung NVMe drivers support only Samsung SSDs. Important to say is, most «business» models (those OEM ones which are cheaper than its EVO or PRO counterparts and without any heatsink) are NOT supported or support comes very late. For example the support of the «business 960» series came when Samsung officially announced the 970 series as «available». Honestly I do not know which revisions of NVMe those support right now, but they keep their drives at a very good speed and long term reliability, so I >>guess<< somewhere in the rev 1.3 range (almost up2date or latest revision).
   Samsung provides its drivers in EXE format. This could be very frustrating if you buy a Samsung SSD for your new setup and you cannot access any OS to extract the driver to use in a Windows install right away. Don’t get me wrong, you get Windows installed (8 and newer or «modded» / hotfixed 7) fine without them, but I usually recommend using the right drivers from the install right away. But with Samsung, at least it works and you can install the EXE after Windows boots up the first time.
   Compatible drives are listed as: 950 PRO, 960 (PRO and EVO) and 970 (PRO and EVO), but a forum member from a different forum told me he was able to run his «enterprise» model with it, too and that didn’t work with an older driver (older than 3.0).
   You get the driver from here:

   https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/

   The driver is valid for only one model, the RD400 or its A variant (RD400A). I didn’t invest much time with this driver, because the RD400(A) was somewhat unappealing.
   You get the driver from here if you need it:

   https://ssd.toshiba-memory.com/download/drivers/nvme/windows/ocznvme-1.2.126.843_whck.zip

   I found these because I wondered about so many drives running obviously only the Windows generic driver. There HAS to be an alternative, right? Because of … reasons … you know? So I found this, in version 1.5 (as pure INF files, so «F6 driver»).
   If interested in trying you can get the driver here:

   https://svn.openfabrics.org/svnrepo/nvmewin/releases/

   These drivers got mode and signed by @Fernando 1 and from what I see the only difference is you don’t have to enable Testmode in Windows, otherwise they should perform the same as the original ones.

   While searching the web for more NVMe drivers I stumbled over a thread on win-raid.com and found additional drivers, those for Plextor SSDs from the maker Lite-On.
   I haven’t tested those, and TBH I didn’t find them on ANY other site than win-raid.com itself. Plextor itself only provides a «suite software», probably the drivers are included there, but I don’t know for sure.
   I won’t link to the driver file directly, but to win-raid.com’s thread itself, where you may find other drivers, too. I can recommend this site, everything is well described and the owner responds to any question you may have.
   Here’s the link to the thread, scroll to «Lite-On / Plextor»:

   https://www.win-raid.com/t29f25-Recommended-AHCI-RAID-and-NVMe-Drivers.html

   All other makes and models not named here:
   I didn’t find more NVMe drivers than those listed above, so that must mean all devices without drivers from their manufacturers, they run with the «old» NVMe driver from Microsoft which lacks a decent set of features.

   I want to discuss with you if there are any other options, because if you think about this, it means «stick to the big brands (Intel, Samsung, OCZ/Toshiba) which provide separate drivers, otherwise you have to stick to performance-degrading Microsoft drivers with a lack of certain features and this may have a negative impact on your SSD regarding performance, stability and/or lifespan».

   Your feedback, suggestions or criticism (if brought up in a decent and rational manner!) is very welcome, as always.

   … if you have a Samsung SSD, yes. But if you own one from another brand the install will fail, because the device IDs do not match.
   Or do you know something I don’t?
   (Then please explain and I will update my guide.)Info? OFA NVMe driver 1.5? Did you compile it yourself or did you compress the files from the link I posted?
   Some errors (for your information):
   — The CAT file is invalid, the certificate signing it is invalid or not trusted. Therefore install on any x64 setup will fail or only be possible in testmode.
   — You accidently renamed the nvme.INF to nvme.INF.TXT
   — If you edit the INF then please change the description to the correct version. Listed is: «Community OFA NVMe 1.2 Storport Miniport» instead of 1.5

   Do you think you are able to fix the certificate chain so testmode is not needed anymore?
   And what makes me wonder: While searching the INF file I found both x86 and x64 get the same file: «nvme.sys». There seems to be no difference between x86 and x64 in terms what to install. Is that correct? I doubt that somehow.

   But thanks you two for contributing.

5. I wasn’t aware this was a guide.

   Your post certainly isn’t formatted as one.

   Anyways, you said you have a 960 evo; you’ll want to use latest samsung nvme driver.

   As always, you can force driver install with have disk option in device manager for other brands but I recommend to stick to their own brand’s drivers.

   I appreciate your help, really. But did you click on the spoiler «Open Fabrics Alliance»? I already linked your second link, but some folders above so users may choose different versions. And I do not trust Softpedia, therefore I do not link their pages if I have other options. And your second link or my version of it both give the user options to download different versions of this for different OS (Windows 7 to 10, x86 and x64).

   When I link stuff I try those most suitable. So drivers for ASUS boards I will only link to ASUS. Intel drivers I link to Intel, etc.
   I would make an exception if for example your ASUS board got an Intel chipset and their drivers are some years old while Intel provides a driver from last week or so. But I would stay within the «original provider range».
   I found out even win-raid.com got problems in testing this OFA driver, even after adding their own certificate, which works for their other modded drivers like a charme.
   And by looking into the Softpedia mirror I see the files are exactly the same like in your 2nd link, so only a copy.

   Did you get them working on your system? Mine refuses to boot afterwards (all changes done like testsigning ON and stuff) or fails on the install itself (previous Intel build with x79 chipset, but same SSD I currently use in my Ryzen build). So if you get them working, please give me a bit of info how you did it.

   I did correct the title, I hope this helps. Sorry for not showing this enough.

   You mentioned an interesting thing: Forcing the driver on other brands. Did you do that or test that? That is exactly what my motion behind this guide was, so please explain a bit:
   — Does this work for ANY driver and ANY model? Samsung+Intel, Samsung+Patriot, Intel+Kingston, OCZ+Samsung, Intel+SanDisk, Samsung+SanDisk, etc. etc.? Did you build any setup where you can tell 100% THIS combo is going to work fine for example?
   — Does any user has to pay attention about something? Are there known limitations or the like? Do you have to have the same controller?

   Please educate me.

9. I’ve only tried it on 2 nvme drives.

   One, my personal 960 Pro and a OEM SM951.

   Tried intel nvme drivers which performed similarly as windows out of the box; samsung driver was the fastest.

   The oem SM drive does not get native support of samsung drivers so I had to force install it.
   Works fine, faster than windows driver.

   960 pro on my X99 system and SM951 on a i7 7700hq laptop.

   I don’t own any other brands so I can’t tell you success rates.

    Ah, OK. I misunderstood you.

    I thought you force-installed say a Samsung driver to an Intel SSD (completely change of brand), but you «only» force-installed a Samsung driver on a «not yet supported» device.
    Btw.: AFAIK the Samsung driver supports your OEM drive now officially. Just try and download the newest driver from them. (I get a «better feel» when i know my devices are installed with their «real» correct drivers which were officially made for them, you know?)

11. You can force install intel NVMe driver on a samsung NVMe too.

    Hi everyone ,
    first post so congrats for great work here !!!!

    Tried to install the 1.5 patched version of the ofa driver (from here :http://reboot.pro/topic/21812-community-…er-2003-r2-sp2/ ), on my msi gp62 7rd win8.1 x64 laptop with testsigning-on mode and secure boot off , but it’s getting unbootable. I had to manually uninstall via dism command in recovery cd options to become bootable again.

    My ssd is a patriot hellfire 240gb which has return from sleep bsod issues, related to incompatibility between windows/ssd firmware so, i could really use these ofa drivers for a fix.
    I’d really appreciate any help !

    Hi there and welcome to G3D.

    Regarding your issue with OFA:
    So far there are some people who tried to install this but they all were unable to get it to run. «fernando» from win-raid.com, who is known for «unlocking» drivers to run with all HW IDs tried it and modified the drivers using his own self-signed certificate which works flawlessly on other drivers from different brands. But he wasn’t able to boot, same as me (and you as I see now).

    But user @Agent-A01 pointed out it would be possible to «cross-install» drivers from other brands by «forcing them» to install (which means if a warning dialog pops up telling you the driver isn’t meant for this device, you choose the INSTALL ANYWAY option):

    So that SHOULD mean you could install any brand’s driver for the use of your drive. Probably this would be a good way to go. But I have never done this before, therefore I link @Agent-A01 here, just to be sure.

    @Agent-A01 : Which driver would you recommend for him? I would give the Intel ones a try, otherwise Samsung, but Samsung uses its own controllers only (AFAIK) while Intel uses not only Intel, but other brand’s controllers, too (Sandforce for example). Do you have to pay attention for anything? For example should you manually select a brand’s model with the same controller (if his drive has a Sandforce controller, should you only select ones with Sandforce controllers or would one with an Intel controller be fine, too?)?

15. His is a Phison controller which AFAIK never had any specific drivers.

    In that case only a firmware or bios update could fix the issues he is having as long as they are not software bugs.

16. According to my knowledge there are at least 3 different generic NVMe drivers, which can be used with all NVMe SSDs:

    1. Microsoft’s Win10 in-box NVMe driver
    2. Open Fabrics Alliance’s NVMe drivers (gave my 2 tested Samsung NVMe SSDs the absolutely best performance, but induces problems while rebooting or shutting down the PC)
    3. Intel RST v16 platform drivers (the installation has to be forced by pointing to the iaStorAC.inf and choosing the listed «Intel(R) NVMe Controller»).

    The results of my benchmark comparison tests can be found >here<.

    Thanks 386SX for all your work in finding these drivers for NVMe SSDs.

    I’m glad I came across this thread as I am searching for the best Windows 7 x64 driver for my Gigabyte Aorus Gen4 SSD. The Samsung NVMe controller driver 3.1.0.1901 works well with the exception of smart data and trim, although the trim problem can be solved by also installing the Windows NVMe HotFix. When I saw your list, I had hoped the Open Fabrics Alliance driver would be even better but unfortunately version 1.5 revision 157 (for Windows 7 x64) is not digitally signed and still prevents Windows 7 from booting.

    System Specs:

    Windows 7×64
    Ryzen 3900X
    MSI X570 Gaming Plus
    Radeon RX 570

19. Intel RST also includes a generic NVMe driver. I don’t know if it’s better than the Intel Client NVMe driver. Once you install / upgrade to the RST NVMe driver (which has a higher version number v17 than the v4 Client NVMe driver), it is impossible to reinstall the Client NVMe driver. You must delete all devices such as SATA controllers which use the RST driver, install the Client NVMe driver, and reinstall RST. The Client NVMe driver may get upgraded to RST, but if you installed it first without RST you can roll back to the Client NVMe driver.
