I read an article about this before and how it was just released for Server and Microsoft is supposed to have it turned off but you can turn it on in 25H2,it mentions down lower in the article about the driver being added into Windows 11 25H2 and you need to turn it on in the registry.

The native driver is also supposed to give up 64% gains in performance.

Interesting. Digging a little deeper there are some warning about turning it on via the registry change, it is experimental, but that's some pretty impressive speed increases in the Tom's article.

Tried it on laptop just now. I'm seeing very little change for just basic CDM run.

The disks are now listed under 'Storage Disks'. I believe before it was Disk Drives or something like that. But the driver version for the drive is still showing from 2006.

I'm still not sure if Windows 11 (or consumer SSDs) will actually see much benefit. Since MS released this for Server 2025, I imagine it's for much larger capacity enterprise SSDs.

If I recall, it breaks most partition manager type tools as well or really anything that's looking for "disk drives".

From I gathered the reason it's not turned on by defualt in 25H2 is because Microsoft don't have all ssd's on board yet,I'm not sure if it's a case of all the major ssd manufacturers are onboard to create and a firmware update for their ssd's if that's whats needed for older ssd's or if it's just certain models that won't play nice without a certain firmware and the manufacturers as no interest in maing an update for only 1 or 2 of their ssd's.

I can't remember the where I seen news about this 4 to 6 months ago and they were more indepth and said that all ssd's would see a gain,I don't know about the 2.5 format ssd's that gave like 500mb read write speeds.
