Samsung SSD 850 PRO 512 GB DRIVERS ??

My WIN 10 Insider 15058 accepted the 15.2.0.1020 Driver after several attempts. Much, much faster now !!

I just tried testing my Samsung SSDs using the Magician's built-in test, and got wildly fluctuating results on sequential tests for a completely idle machine: from 90000 Random Read IOPS to 135000 Random Read IOPS (same kind of fluctuatiuon in other numbers as well).

Comparisons between Windows Standart AHCI Driver and Intel-specific AHCI Driver show no improvement at all on either SATA 850 EVO or 850 EVO M.2, i.e. both fluctuate back and forth with no changes on average.

I'd guess your "Much, much faster now" is just another of those fluctuatuions.

My WIN 10 Insider 15060 will NOT accept 15.2.0.1020 Driver if I use Intel 8 Controller. I have to use Intel 200 Series Chipset Controller and only then am I able to use 15.2.0.1020 Driver.

You are correct AndreyT, test results bouncing all over the place.

Searched for days for the 15.2.0.1020 driver for our Intel 8 series SATA AHCI Controller. This driver (for 8 series) not even on Intel Download ????
