AWS NVMe Windows driver (Cloud Computing Services - Amazon Web Services)

Hello everyone!

Anyone tried AWS NVMe Windows driver? As for me, the best NVME driver ever.

Solidigm NVMe Custom Modded Driver by THEBOSS619 is awesome job, but try this one:

AWS NVMe Windows driver version history - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

AWS NVMe Windows driver version history for EC2 Windows instances.

docs.aws.amazon.com

In my desktop and mobile setups based on Tiger Lake 1135G7 both, it performs best among every driver I've tested. On the other hand mobile constructions make it hard to spread wings as shown in @davidaz Kingston (random 4K: 99,50 read and 547,27 write - sell the secret to us!). Drives I have: Kingston KC3000 1TB & 2TB.

Just a heads up. This AWS driver doesn't support HMB or Host Memory Buffer so if you use any SSD NVMe drive without DRAM cache... using AWS NVMe Driver is not recommended at all.

If you got an SSD NVMe with DRAM cache then it's completely fine to use AWS driver

Does it support DirectStorage?

Jepp definitely true. Tested it on a DRAM SSD and on a HMB SSD.
