Nvme Driver  

Thank you! After weeks of agony with supports from Gigabyte, Microsoft, Sandisk, and Western Digital (now owned by Sandisk) I'm finally able to detect and initialize the PCIe NVMe with the hotfix!

"PCI Device" Error PCI/VEN_15B7&DEV_5009
MB: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Rev3.0 (since 2012)
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64
GFX: 7870 XT 2GB
NVMe: SN550 (Data, Cache/Scratch/Proj) Not used for OS

Even though there's a PCIe 2.0 limitation of the board would hinder the potential of the drive I wanted to use this now and put forth into a newer build at a later time.


Keep this going as there are many still out there running Win7 and needing NVMe support through PCIe

Thank you @SIW2!

It works on Windows 7 x64.
But SSD can't be detected by ADATA toolbox or CrystalDiskInfo:





Is there any update that could fix it?

Hi SIW2!,

Thank you from the 2 msu, I ran both. My Asrock Z87 M/B BIOS now can detect my ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro on a PCIE adapter in its boot priority. HOWEVER, my NVIDIA 1060 GPU is NOT detected anymore. The integrated GPU on the M/B works fine. Could you help me with this problem? Thanks and regards.

Try to allow both on BIOS.
But it could be a limitation of x87 Intel Chipset's.

I have also installed/tried 2 recent MB BIOS update (beta) for NVME support but have not update my EVGA 1060 BIOS.

Update:
VGA Bios Collection | TechPowerUp

I've just check, seems my GPU already have the latest BIOS

You need to allow it on AsRock Bios Setup.
Maybe ther is a option to use both connectors. Otherwise, try to change your VGA to the second PCIe x16 slot available.

SIW2 registered to say THANKS, you're a beautiful person ~



went over to microsoft's to get the hotfix, but there's a note that more or less says "update no longer available, please install WIN10"



Are these guys for real LOL


anyway, now nvme m.2 with pcie adater is visible and usable
on Win7 x64 sp1
suck on it MS

hello SIW2


the drive is
"Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2"

I'm getting around 2.94 Gb/s, with the adapter "GLOTRENDS M.2 PCIE NVME Adapter Card for PC/2U Hight Server, PCIE GEN3 Full Speed (PA05)" pretty good
no heatsink


I plan to upgrade soon but it's amazing that M$ wants to shove win10 down our throats like this, the drivers and updates are available here, but not on the official M$ site


anyway more power to you ~
