Hi,
I have a few Windows 10 machines (latest patches) and they're using Intel 900p 280 U2>NVMe drives for their OSs. I am NOT using any sort of caching with the drives - they're simply OS drives (and FAST ones at that ).
Anyway, after tearing my hair out I have found out a problem with the Intel 900p driver preventing Raxco's PerfectDisk Pro 14 (latest) from opening properly.
If I roll-back the Intel driver to the MS built-in NVMe driver, PerfectDisk opens fine.
Don't worry - I am NOT defragmenting any SSDs - PerfectDisk is used for a large spinning RAID6 array on this same computer.
Please look into that as when I had a Samsung 960 Pro NVMe 512GB SSD running as the OS drive on this same computer, everything was fine (using Samsung's NVMe driver).
Built-in Microsoft W10 'Standard NVM Express Driver' 10.0.16299.251 (6/21/2006) - PerfectDisk Pro opens fine
Intel Client NVMe Microsoft Windows Drivers for Intel SSDs 4.0.0.1007 - PerfectDisk Pro WILL NOT open
Intel Client NVMe Microsoft Windows Drivers for Intel SSDs 3.2.0.1002 - PerfectDisk Pro WILL NOT open
What is it about the Intel driver that breaks PerfectDisk Pro? I really need this fixed.
I have also opened a case with Raxco on this.
Thanks
PerfectDisk Pro opens using this:
