Today I'm sharing this driver which Solidigm promises performance improvements & more responsive user experience made by Solidigm. I have modded the driver to work on all NVMe SSDs and any NVMe SSDs, as long as it's NVMe.. this will work.
They got a feature called "Fast Lane" where they explain how it works as I quote...
"The Synergy 2.0 NVMe driver. Version 2.0 promises even more performance than previous versions. Solidigm describes its improved NVMe driver as follows: "An Intelligent and Responsive Storage Driver Compatible with all Solidigm client SSDs, the Solidigm Synergy Driver offers a variety of user experience optimizations. Fast Lane, a feature that learns what files are accessed most frequently and prioritizes them for faster access, maintaining performance as your drive fills up. When paired with the Solidigm P41 Plus SSD, users can expect up to 120% faster random read speeds even when the drive is at 50% capacity. Additional features include Smart Prefetch, which can improve game loads by accelerating sequential reads by up to 350%, and Dynamic Queue Assignment, which improves random writes by up to 20% for a more responsive user experience."

A proof that it works on any NVMe SSD. Here's benchmark results from Discord Legion Series server from members & moderators! All while using CrystalDiskMark8.. all thanks to them for there time to report & testing! All pictures are ordered like this... 1st picture is "before" and the 2nd picture is "after"... Focus on RND4K read/writes [The higher the better]
Test before & after and decide if you want to keep using this driver or not
Focus on RND4K read/writes, that's what the Solidigm driver are focusing for 
That's what is most important parameter for day to day usage. They are the ones that Windows typically uses [RND4K] in almost all kind of read/write operations.
Uninstall Instructions:-
I have made two versions of it...

- Simply download the file from the attachment of this post.
- Extract the .7z file. [Use 7zip]
- Simply run setup.bat file & reboot!
- Enjoy!
Uninstall Instructions:-
- Get back to Microsoft Stock NVMe driver through device manager 1st.
- Click on Driver Tab and then click on "Update Driver" and then click on "Browse my computer for drivers"
- Then click on "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" and then select on "Standard NVMe Express Controller" and then click on "Next"
- Reboot
- Then remove it through Rapr [It's named solidnvm.inf]. Get RAPR from here https://github.com/lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer
I have made two versions of it...
- One is Solidigm driver without any modifications except making it work on all NVMe drives
- Second one got the name tag [+Tunings] on the file name. I have added modded tunings that Samsung and Phison uses on there own NVMe drivers like transaction sizes, interrupt coalescing times, interrupt parameters, and performance parameters like transfer size and number of I/O queues
