My answer to both questions is: No!

Thanks for having found and uploaded this brandnew Solidigm NVMe driver.
@all
The start post has been updated by me today (05/03/2023).
As you may know, Intel has given up the development of new NVMe SSDs and the support of their old ones. Now everythig is done by the Company Solidigm (resp. SK-Hynix).
By the way - I just have tested this brandnew NVMe driver with a 2 TB WD_Black SN850X by forcing the installation. Here are the related pictures:

I have the Intel 670p with Win 7. I loaded the 660p driver that used to be posted here. I found it performs better than the basic MS NVMe driver. And it shows up in the old SSD Toolbox I am still using.

Thanks for your feedback. It is fine, that you are satisfied with the mod+signed 64bit Intel NVMe Drivers v4.4.0.1003 while running Windows 7 x64. It is not easy to find an NVMe driver, which performs good and is supported by the outdated OS Win7 and the old Intel SSD Toolbox

Hi @Fernando I downloaded driver for ocz/toshiba. my hardware id is PCI\VEN_1179&DEV_0115&SUBSYS_00011179&REV_01. And i watched the inf file with notes and it should support my device because if found the right ven and dev number. but when i tryed to install it says. Windows encountered an error installing the driver. can you please help me
But why? Are you aware of any bugs or performance issues that make you want to use a September 2018 driver? True, you didn’t write which Windows you are using, but for example, for Windows 10, I think Microsoft has released at least 10 newer versions since its release. Of course Windows 7 is a completely different story.
@jonpet Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
How did you try to install this NVMe driver?
By the way - I agree with westlake: As long as you run Win10 you should better use the in-box MS NVMe driver.
When you want to install Win7, the driver choice will be different.
Good luck!

This is not precise enough. How do you do it?
Some users try to update the driver for the NVMe SSD (listed within the section “Disks”) instead of updating the driver for the NVMe Controller (listed within the “Storage Controllers” section).
@jonpet
Thanks for the reply. I have no idea why the mod+signed OCZ/Toshiba NVMe driver has not been accepted by the OS.
If a certain device isn’t compatible with a certain driver (*.SYS file), it doesn’t help to add the natively missing HardwareIDs into the *.INF file.
Poor performance, doesn’t run on many systems
@Zero3K
Although the performance of the GitHub NVMe driver seems to be very poor, I would like to test it.
Please attach the “pure” Windows driver, which contains at least a *.SYS and an *.INF file.
Here is the driver (run bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS then
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON in a command prompt and then reboot before installing it):
