Default Is there a more recent NVMe driver for Win10?

So I recently purchased a MyDigitalSSD BPX 480gb drive and I was poking
around in the device manager and noticed the NVMe controller driver is
from 2006.
Does anyone know if there is a more updated version for this driver? I've
tried searching but I must not be on my game tonight because I can't find
the answer. System specs a
i7-6700K
AsRock Z170M Extreme4
16gb Corsair Vengeance ram
MSI RX480 Gaming X 4gb
EVGA SuperNova G2 650 watt
Windows10 Pro

That is not an NVMe driver.

this driver? I've tried searching


Have you tried searching their website?

What are your test scores?

These are mine...

Search for "Samsung NVMe". If anybody has trouble with
Flickr, let me know and I will post individual easy access
links.

I've tried searching Mydigitalssd's website but they do not appear to have
a driver or software section.
Here is a link to my test scores.

Asrock has an RST driver.

"Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver and utility ver:15.2.0.1020"

https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170...oad&os=Win1064

*******

The release notes on the Intel site for 15.2.0.1020 say:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/dow...ogy-Intel-RST-

"This driver supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10.

The driver should be installed after the operating system has been installed.
F6 and RAID BIOS configurations need to be performed prior to installation
of this driver for proper operation.

This driver supports NVMe devices. ---
"

I don't have an NVMe drive here, so have no hands-on experience
with driver sequence.

Note that Intel also lists an F6 driver.

*******

They mention using iRST here as well. Rather than a Windows provided solution.

http://www.legitreviews.com/mydigita...eview_190472/2

I've not done any NVMe stuff here, and in any case, the insistence on
UEFI/GPT for the thing kinda sucks. I wouldn't want to be "trapped"
in such a situation. I like solutions that work with CSM.

Apparently there's some minimal version of iRST, and NVMe
wasn't always in it. I think the driver on the Asrock site
is "new enough".

*******

There's a thread here on NVMe, but it's a long long read.
The first post didn't mention using the iRST driver.

http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts....-on-a-pcie-ssd

And the files in the F6 kit, don't have anything indicating
NVMe about them. The RAID package, that's in an MSI and
I'd need to find a recipe somewhere to take that apart.

Having a 256 GB RAM drive totally rocks. Mine is divided into
two parts, most of it for drive C and the rest of it for a
huge RAM drive. File transfers are blazing fast.
