Description
Not able to identify the correct NVMe* driver to install for the my Intel® Optane™ SSD.
Resolution
The driver you need to install for your Intel® Optane™ SSD depends on the OS 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*. |
| Linux* | Linux distributions already include the inbox driver required to enable NVMe support. If you need to update your driver, work with your platform vendor. |
| ESXi* | Work with your platform vendor to get the appropriate NVMe driver based on your ESXi version. Intel only supports the Intel® NVMe* with ESXi* which can be downloaded from the VMware* site directly. |
