You definitely don't need special drivers to get performance faster than that. However, if you're trying to run Linux, to my knowledge you have to use AHCI mode because I don't think Linux has a suitable driver for the Intel RST controller that gets enabled when you select RAID mode.Īll that said, that doesn't explain why your SSD is so slow in Windows. AHCI choice is made in the BIOS, specifically the setting called "SATA Operation", which despite the name affects NVMe devices as well. If it's in AHCI mode, then the Microsoft NVMe driver built into Windows is used. If your system is in RAID mode, then the Intel Rapid Storage driver is used. It's true that Samsung's NVMe drivers don't work on OEM units, but Dell doesn't provide drivers either. If you're in RAID mode, then you can only use the Intel RST driver regardless of SSD type. If you want to use the Samsung drivers instead, your system has to be in AHCI mode AND you have to be using a Samsung retail SSD, not an OEM versions like the PM951. RAID drivers, when your system is in AHCI mode, you can always use the Microsoft NVMe driver built into Windows if you want. The RAID mode speed won't be significantly different if you perform multiple benchmarks in both AHCI and RAID mode and average out the results.Īs for AHCI vs.

(Note: If you already see your SSD before loading the driver, you can skip this, because it means Windows has a new enough RST driver built in, so you can wait to update it until Windows is installed.) Click that and point to the INF file in the driver you downloaded.

Then during Windows Setup, when you get to the point where you choose where you want to install Windows, you'll see a Load Driver option.

The way it's supposed to work is that if you want to use RAID mode, you need to download the "F6 floppy" version of the Rapid Storage driver here, then extract the zip file onto something like a flash drive. I'm not sure how you tried to install the Rapid Storage driver in some other situation. These temps are with an ambient room temp of 18-19c.If you want to use RAID mode, you need to set that before you install Windows and then provide the Intel RST driver during Windows installation. Anyway, after installation of the new 3.3 driver the idle temps are -10c, down to 40c. During a long benchmark such as ATTO it creeps up to 75c and throttles itself, but this never bothered me much since that only really happened during those particular long benchmarks, which I avoided. My temps for the 950 Pro 512MB have always been 50c at idle and 55-65c when actually under (normal) use.
My motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1) was one of the early m.2/nvme adopters, and as such it does not employ a heatsink only a little "pocket" with a plastic lid on it that is supposed to get at least some benefit from the tiny little motherboard fan, although I don't think it helps one bit. One area that has definitely improved is the thermals. I don't believe I ever manually updated the driver since originally installing it when I first got it around May of 2016. To be honest, I am not even sure which version of the driver I had been using prior to the update, as I thought the magician software was keeping everything up to date (this is the first time I've ever had an "alert" from magician that I need to update the driver). The pic I attached are of the old results. The 709 read score is now never above 650/660, although I'm not nearly as worried about that. New results are exactly the same except the two ~400MB/S write scores in the middle are always between 200-300 now with the new 3.3 driver. There have been some windows updates and other minor changes to my software/OS environment since then, but nothing out of the normal and it has only been a month since I last tested (3/8/20, with crystal disk mark - it is now 4/5/20). Unfortunately, I noticed a significant drop in random write performance (in benchmarks, at least).
