Need intel smart connect technology install#Īlso make sure you install the Magician software. You are going to get maximum performance from running the device through PCIe 4X bandwidth.
If that is the only device you plan on using for storage configure it under ONBOARD DEVICES CONFIGURATION in BIOS for M.2_1 Configuration: Set to PCIE Mode and for M.2_2 PCIe Bandwidth Configuration set to X4. IRST is for setting up Raid arrays, AHCI is for SATA only drives. PCIe is for NVMe devices like what you have. Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply!ġ) For now that is indeed the only drive I plan on using. Will changing the settings similar to yours hamper my ability to do so? I assume that I can always reactivate the SATA controller in the UEFI.Ģ) Will I need to reinstall Windows after changing the settings? I might want to add a slower SATA SSD for storage / games in the future. No they won't as you've already installed windows on that device, yes you can always enable the SATA controller but it will only be used as a stand alone storage device like a USB flash drive since the SSD you plan to add down the road wasn't configured with the windows installation you've already done.Īs far as will you need to reinstall windows if you change these settings I gave you above for your current configuration the answer is no. Leave your SATA device enabled, once you change to PCIE for M.2 and change the bandwidth to X4 that will put the drive in PCIe where it should be. You don't have to disable the SATA controller, I just do it because I'm not using anything connected to the SATA ports. Yes it is executable, eezy peezy, just click the program and let it do it's magic. Yes, I installed the driver from Samsung without trouble.
Need intel smart connect technology driver# No issues so far!īut I just realized something else: the PCIE Speed setting (M.2_2) has reverted to x2 mode in the UEFI. And every time I set it to x4 it seems to do so automatically. I change the setting then choose safe and restart.
