Registry additions and driver changes all came through for me after the edits with no issues.
Not only did it have no effect on the r/w for my secondary SSD, it actually tested worse in both by 200MB/s in CrystalDiskMark. Acer Predator GM7000 4TB, PCIe4, on a Gigabyte G5 KD.
Win 11 24H2, Samsung 970 evo 512, samsung 980 512 and Fikwot FN501 Pro 1tb working in PCI-ex 3.0 adapter worked great. Random access improved almost 2x for RND4K Q32T1! Chinese cheapest SSD with new driver outperforms Samsung 970 EVO with old driver. Insane upgrade! Great job, Microsoft /s
It only takes three registry entries to get Windows 11 to use the native NVMe driver that was recently introduced with a Windows Server 2025 update, which can significantly increase SSD performance, as we have just tested. Those who do not mind a little risk can hit data transfer rates that are sometimes up to 45% higher for exactly zero dollars.
