Hey Mr.M
I have 2 m.2 NVMe ssd in my rig. I have Samsung Magician installed all ready. Do I need to install these drivers, I checked SM to update no no update came up?
If I do install this driver will it mess anything up on my rig?
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: I figured it out MR. M
Thank you for all you do for us here on the rog forums.Last edited by pinkfloyd1173; 05-15-2020 at 02:08 AM.

Do you NEED to install them, no. They'll run fine on microsoft ones. But for optimal performance the samsung ones are recommended yes

If I am looking at the specs. correctly, going to a PCIe 4 drive and an 11th generation processor on my Z490 board would almost double the speed of a M.2 drive running as 4x?
I plan on moving to the 11th generation so I can check the performance of my PCIe 4 Video card and a new Pcie 4 drive.. It may be impressive. I have to think Intel decided to go to PCIe4, even though they had been stating it wasn't a useable performance boost, for some reason. Possibly sales or the license situation for PCIe 4 has changed.
You also need the Samsung drivers so the Magician software can monitor the drive for firmware updates and problems.

I haven't tested the Microsoft version of the driver, stornvme.sys, for a few years but it used to have terrible performance. And as I mentioned, you can't run the Magician software to benchmark the drive and do firmware updates without using the Samsung driver.
I would not run a Samsung NVMe drive without their driver.. I would not even buy an NVMe drive unless it had an OEM driver..
Make sure we are keeping NVMe drives which are being operated in a SATA environment different from an NVMe drive being operated in its natural environment. The Intel SATA/PCIe Premium driver did vastly improve the performance in a drive being used in SATA configuration. Intel needs to run those drives using a RAID controller so its Optane memory will function correctly.
