I haven't analysed the driver and related files yet but has someone already looked into the possibility of backporting this to W10 or even older OSs ?
Sorry if I write something about the 2006 driver... somehow this information is really confusing me, and I want to ask if 6/21/2006 is the date when the basic driver from Microsoft was made, meaning the original version, while the version, for example, 10.0.26100.7309, is newer and wasn't made back in 2006? This causes a lot of confusion among users, which is why I'm asking, how accurate is this? Does it mean that the driver from 2006 is the basic one, it’s not outdated or should we be concerned that it doesn't work on new devices, and that its version has been updated in newer versions of Windows even though the 2006 date remains the same? At the end, wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
It still is Enterprise whether ltsc or not. But that discussion is moved to its own dedicated thread.
Not working on intel rst vmd driver Should I need to disable from bios rst raid and select ahci mode?
I ran into an issue with the new driver. Suddenly my PC slowed down to a crawl with clicks taking 5-10 seconds but Taskmanager showed 0% CPU and disk activity. I had to reboot it to get back to usable state. Watch out for this.
I am still running IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC on the i7 11700 and the i9 11900, which have pcie4 M2 slots, i can't say there was any noticable (practical) improvement on the i7 8700 with only pcie3 M2 slots. And the 25H2 install, i ran the test on, will be replaced with a 26H1 test install later today
I tested Samsung 990 Pro in DiskSpd with the same parameters as Microsoft, and it gave a ~33% increase in IOPS in heavy I/O scenarios. Not bad, only loss is BypassIO. Throughput disk.sys 827365 IOPS 3232 MiB/s nvmedisk.sys 1096727 IOPS 4284 MiB/s Average Latency disk.sys 0.023 ms nvmedisk.sys 0.021 ms Tail latency max disk.sys 2.60 ms nvmedisk.sys 2.16 ms Tail latency 99.99% disk.sys 1.015 ms nvmedisk.sys 0.710 ms
Where do these numbers come from? I ran those and got the new Storage disks section, but I'm kind of curious what I ran I didn't notice anything beneficial over Intel RST (v17) OS and games; all AHCI drivers and the Storage disks new mode thing add 1-2 seconds to boot time though. Not sure if it's new with this mode or Win11, but MSI mode utility shows the NVMe having MsiX with AHCI; iirc I only saw MsiX when using RST (AHCI had MSI at most)
