hi,
specifically i'm planning on getting 2 x Samsung 950 Pro M.2 for RST raid-0 on a z170 board (asus z170-ws).
i don't quite understand however, once the drives get behind such raid volume (and it's probably not only relevant to samsung but also intel 750 ssd, or any other pcie storage device) how can user continue to be able to update the nvme controller driver whenever needed (example samsung releases newer driver version, etc)?
from other's comments it appears that once raid is created any nvme driver installers just no longer "see" the device (hidden behind raid set).
so questions are
- will it be possible to use (and update) manufacturer-specific nvme driver if devices are already behind z170 raid volume?
- will it be possible to create RST raid volume in Windows after installing manufacturer's own driver (instead of default Microsoft's nvme driver)?
- if i want intel RST to make use of manufacturer's nvme driver, is it possible to somehow add their inf/sys files to RST floppy drivers during Windows installation on raid volume?
- can you basically confirm that for now (RST 14.8) pcie raid sets only use Microsoft's generic nvme driver?
(so are not able to take advantage of manufacturerr' performance optimizations http://ssd.samsungsemi.com/ecomobile/ssd/update15.do?fname=/Samsung_NVMExpress_Driver_rev10.zip)
thank you!
