But with Samsung, at least it works and you can install the EXE after Windows boots up the first time.Ĭompatible 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). 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. 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. Samsung provides its drivers in EXE format. 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). For example the support of the 'business 960' series came when Samsung officially announced the 970 series as 'available'. 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.

Samsung NVMe drivers support only Samsung SSDs.
