Samsung 980 nvme drivers

Netarangi

There aren’t any drivers available for this ssd - I am getting slow read/write speeds and can’t fix it.

There are drivers, they're just built into Windows.

Can you at least give a little detail on what you're considering slow and most importantly, extreme detail on how you're testing it?

It's entirely unclear what you consider "slow" and under what conditions you're experiencing that. However, bear in mind that the 980 has no DRAM and instead relies on HMB. That gives it a about 64GB of addressability at once. If you're attempting to read more than that at any given time, speed will fall off a cliff. That's just the way the drive is.
