New driver is out for 750 series NVMe drives. Just a heads up. My benchmarks seem a bit improved.

+1 rep, thanks for letting us know.

Here's the link:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23929/Intel-SSD-Data-Center-Family-for-NVMe-Drivers

Here's two runs of CrystalDiskMark 5.1.2 on the previous driver:

56764

56765

And here's two after. I ran the Intel SSD Optimizer between these two, seems it might've helped a tiny bit with writes at least:

56766

56767


Differences seem within random variance except for the 4k writes, which seem to lose about 2.5% performance. Mm. Probably imperceptible so I'm just going to leave it, but figured folks would like to see some results.

Aw Qwinn...why did you have to spoil things with facts...

As long as people "felt" they were faster, the driver would have worked :rolleyes:;)

Release notes:

• Set SCSI Mode Sense FUA bit as supported
• Minor performance improvement
• Implement SCSI Verify translation to NVMe*

So, Intel felt this way too...

Facts are relevant anymore Arne, you know that.

Thanks for the rep Qwinn.

Oops. Too early in the morning. Facts are not relevant anymore. Missed the "not". 😄
