Latest Samsung NVMe Driver Released

Cliff S · 20 Jun 2020

One other way would be if someone has a 970 and zips and sends to the forums the contents of C:\Program Files\Samsung\Driver\970_Win10_64 and then you could use the inf to install.
I only have 950 & 960, so sorry there:

The drivers are backwards compatible, but iirc, v3.1 supported the 960 and v3.2 the 970. v3.3 is a security fix? I remember having to upgrade my drivers when I installed the 970 because the driver version I had wouldn't see the 970, only the 960's. May be it was v3.0 the 960 and v3.1 the 970... any way, the later drive needed a newer driver.. can't remember exactly.. it was a couple of years ago now and age has gotten the better of my memory :)

There's still outstanding question why .exe wouldn't run. that's not normal and could pose a problem with some other drivers and programs.

robinjoo1 · 20 Jun 2020

maybe that has to do with my windows 10 build 2004

True that. I thought perhaps getting the driver installed might be the priority. W10 2004 is problematic atm. I'll ask some people I know who have 2004 and Samsung drives if they've had any issues.

@robinjoo1

I assume you are working with an unaltered install? Home? Pro?

v3.2 supports the 970. Have you tried that version?

Have you tried sfc /scannow and the try the drivers again?

Mine is 960 evo and I went thru all drivers since I got it few years ago. But I digress, question is why it wouldn't start.
