On many systems, this manifests as NVMe drives in the M.2 slot not working properly with standard NVMe drivers when the storage controller is in RAID mode, but working fine when its in AHCI mode. Is this normal, or is this a generic driver and I could potentially get better performance from one for this motherboard? Obviously if that's normal in this scenario then I can leave it alone, but of course if there's a way to get improved performance from it, then I would like to do so. intel nvme format Featuring the latest QLC (Quad Level Cell) NAND Jul 10.

There is no driver that I can find on Intels download page for the NUC for a NVMe driver, nor can I find one for Samsung. NVM Express is an open collection of standards and information to fully expose the benefits of non-volatile memory in all types of computing environments from mobile to data center. Microsoft Windows 8 (additional driver required) Microsoft Windows 10. The NVMe controller is just listed in Windows 10 Device Manager as a Standard NVM Express Controller. For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the Windows NVMe driver is available as a download from https. The changelog notes are very brief though and don't make much sense. NVMe (or NVM Express) is a host controller interface standard designed to.
