im planning a fresh install on my home server and wondering how to handle storage drivers this time. should i go with the vendors Maximus V GENE AMD AHCI Driver and RAID/VMD mode, or AHCI and the inbox driver? xD priority for me is speed 馃槫 what would you choose and why? im comfortable changing BIOS settings, i just want to make the decision once and not regret it later. what would you do in my shoes? thx in advance!!
ASUS Maximus V GENE AMD AHCI Driver vs the built-in Microsoft NVMe driver: which do you run?
Some SSD makers offer their own NVMe driver. In most cases the inbox driver performs comparably; only switch if u have a specific issue or feature need.
ahh classic for dual booting Linux, AHCI/non-VMD mode is often simpler, thuogh newer kernels supprot VMD in many cases. fingers crossed 馃

ok so same issue here on my gaming rig. no idea whats going on
ahh classic for a single SSD, the inbox Standard NVM Express Controller driver is solid and gets updates through Windows. Vendor drivers matter mainly for RAID arrays, Optane-style caching, or platforms that use VMD by default. hope that helps :)
why does the windows installer need h61m-ge bios just to see my ssd?
