Is a vendor storage driver worth it on a single-SSD home server?

    My home server uses Samsung SH-S182D Firmware for its storage controller. Ive read that the standard Microsoft NVMe driver is just as good or better for single drives. i care most about speed. Is there any reason to keep teh vendor driver, or should i switch? And how risky is switching on an existing installation?? Real experiences welcome. i would like to make an informed choice. seriously need help here 馃槶

    been there man some laptops depend on VMD/RST mode for power features, if battery life is your priority on a laptop, follow the makers configuration. hope that helps :)

    lol same thing happened to me 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. good luck man!
