After not being so happy with my 600p performance, yes its not the highest-end M.2 but still should outperform an SSD. I looked around and saw this Unsigned open source driver, i had to look around since there was no direct link to the driver till i found it: https://svn.openfabrics.org/svnrepo/nvmewin/releases/ i had to put windows into Test mode in order to bypass the unsigned driver issue, and then manually install the driver. here are the benchmarks used in CrystalDiskMark, any thoughts? i think the 4k Random Read is the most important improvement? +2mb/s is a big leap? EDIT: This driver is not only for intel - (Reviewing Companies: HGST, Intel, Samsung)
