Windows NVMe Boost: Unleash Your SSD Speed!
9 Jan
Summary
- Microsoft enables a native NVMe driver for Windows Server 2025.
- This feature significantly boosts performance for modern NVMe SSDs.
- Users must manually activate the NVMe driver for benefits.
Microsoft has released a new native NVMe driver that promises a significant performance increase for compatible solid-state drives. This feature is designed to unlock the full potential of Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) SSDs, which communicate directly with the processor via the PCIe interface.
Previously, Windows lacked a native driver for NVMe, which capped the performance of these high-speed storage devices. The introduction of Native NVMe for Windows Server 2025, also available on Windows 11, addresses this limitation. This update aims to provide a substantial speed boost for users with modern NVMe SSDs.
To benefit from this performance enhancement, users must manually activate the new NVMe driver. This proactive step allows individuals to leverage the advanced capabilities of their NVMe drives, ensuring they achieve optimal read and write speeds previously unattainable through Windows' default settings.
