Marvell 92XX SATA Controller 6GB Driver for Windows 10 1.2.0.1039-WHQL

Thank you. Your drivers worked for me. However, searching for a fix I read elsewhere that Marvel does not perform at the max speed allowed and that the Intel SATA 3 (6g) does, so after making sure the Marvel worked, I switched over.

Thank you!

Years later, and your post is still helping folks, like me!
Many thanks.

The latest driver I can find is marvell_mv91xx_1.2.0.1049

Marvell MV-91xx/92xx SATA 6G Controller Version 1.2.0.1049 WHQL

Is it the latest ?

Thanks

According to the file version number, it is numbered higher so naturally it should be a newer version However, as I mentioned, finding this driver isn't easy and I ran across several that, no matter the date or version number, simply wouldn't work. One always hopes that newer drive controller drivers will increase the drive speed a little. Rarely does that work. Updates to the driver usually address support for a slightly modified chip.

For example, if you look in Device Manager at the standard Microsoft-supplied "Disk drives" driver, it's from 6/21/2006. It being Jan 2021, a newer version would be expected. The reason is that the driver works just fine and no further modifications to it have been necessary. Same with the Marvell driver, in my opinion. If you have a version that actually works, I'd stick with it. As per my original post, I did indeed find a newer version and tried it but stuck with it only because it worked as well as being newer.

At that point, I had dedicated about all the work I cared to spend on that issue. I'm still using that same driver now. I still have the motherboard I mentioned in a system and it works like brand new so there's been no real need to replace it. I increased the total RAM to 16GB, and started exclusively using SSD drives (except for an external drive used for storage) in it so the speed is not an issue.

good job I needed this driver for my Asus P6X58D-E Xenon 5675 build I downloaded the file extracted to desktop, then in safe mode I un-installed all Marvell 91xx drivers and check deleted drivers, re boot in safe mode until all drivers are deleted and Marvell 91xx appears as other device in control panel, select normal startup in msconfig machine runs fine at this point but drives appear as removable under usb devices then I ran the Marvell 91xx version 1.2.0.1049
installer, re boot and speed is max 380 mbps read and 252 mbps write, trim is active and no removable devices in usb Just whish the speeds were better, any suggestions how to get the speeds faster? I'm using a 2.5 western digital 500 gb blue SSD
thanks again

In Device Manager what is the date on that driver? In my original post in 2016 (this thread) I suspected the driver was already showing serious signs of being abandoned.

Regarding your SSD speeds, after years of experience with them, I can tell you that you pretty well "get what you get". 99% of manufacturers will refuse to replace the drive if the only issue is its speed. They want either a bad S.M.A.R.T. result or a diagnostic app of their own to show it has actual bad electronics.

For example, take this email I got back from TeamGroup support regarding a 2 month old NVMe SSD drive that had dropped from 1,800 MB/s (Sequential read) to 300 MB/s (yes, that's no typo):
(Their bottom line being that I had done an apparently foolish thing, namely installed it in a computer and put data on it. Not only that, once it had some data, I put even more data on it. The drive should be tested for speed freshly formatted (empty), they say. I don't use drives empty so I really could not care less what its "empty" speed is. A billion GB/s does me no good if it has to stay empty to do that)


Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting TeamGroup customer service center.
Normally, the test of the SSD performance is must be conducted when the SSD is completely empty to ensure that the test is accurate.
When the computer is overloading or there are too much data saved in the SSD, the computer may take more time to process multiple tasks and data transfer. This will shortly affect the speed of SSD.
On the other hand, if the SSD is on background running (i.e Garbage collection, wear leveling, Read retry..ect.) during the test ,it will also shortly affect the speed of SSD.
So it’s normal to become slower.
According to the picture which you provided, the first time has used 23% of the capacity, the second time has used 37% of the capacity.
The speed of the SSD will be reduced due to the reduction of the remaining capacity.

That may seem an outrageous insult by TeamGroup to one's intelligence but I've gotten very similar "information" from Samsung, Western Digital, etc.

the date on the driver is 1/26/2016 in device manager under storage controllers version 1.2.0.1049 I don't think its the drive limiting the speed it must be with the driver or even the controller
