Windows 11 hack: Higher SSD speeds with new Microsoft NVMe driver

[Redaktion]

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.

This does nothing. Reg entries added and nothing changes. Maybe it's just me?

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

Don't bother with this.

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.

Again, don't bother.
