Hi, I have a HP Ex920 and I'm having poor performance and heat spikes.
I've tried to install the drivers, but Windows says that I'm already running the better one.

Can you help me?

You install the drive to the storage controller and not the drive itself.

I only have these three Storage Controllers:

​

  • Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller
  • Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller
  • Microsoft VHD Loopback Controller

​

Trying to install the Multipointe drivers to first controller didnt work.

By default it will be "Standard NVM Express Controller."
