Samsung PM981a Drivers?

Hello Everyone,

I recently bought a new laptop with the Samsung PM981a SSD NVME M.2. I feel that the drive isn't fast, especially for this SSD and I don't see Samsung NVME driver in my Device Manager. I read online that the Samsung NVME driver is necessary to boost the performance of the drive. When I go to Samsung's website, there is no driver for the PM981a, at least I cannot find it. Anybody can help me to locate the driver for the PM981a SSD? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

Download NVMe 3.3 driver, or install Magician. Your drive is Gen3x4.

 

I found out that OEM SSD's don't have any drivers or Magician, only Samsung drives.

 

Then try the Microsoft NVMe driver, tho the Samsung NVMe should also work fine.

 

IIRC www.win-raid.com offers modified versions of Samsung SSD drivers. Probably worth a try.
