Description
Not able to identify the correct NVMe* driver to install for my Intel® Optane™ SSD.
Resolution
The driver you need to install for your Intel® Optane™ SSD depends on the operating system you are using.
| Windows* | Intel used to have Intel NVMe* drivers for Windows, however these drivers reached their end of life and were removed from Download Center on February 6, 2023. Users are encouraged to use now the Microsoft inbox NVMe* driver. See announcement in End-of-Life (EOL) Announcement for the Intel® NVMe* Drivers for Windows*. |
