How would a model-specific driver for something that speaks NVMe even work? Is it for Linux? Is it open? Is it just modifications to the stock Linux NVMe driver

How would a model-specific driver for something that speaks NVMe even work? Is it for Linux? Is it open? Is it just modifications to the stock Linux NVMe driver that take some drive specifics into account? Or is it some stupid proprietary NVMe stack?
- wtallis 6y agoI think he may have meant you can't get the drives, not the drivers. Samsung, Kioxia, etc. enterprise NVMe SSDs work fine with standard Linux NVMe drivers and I don't think they offer custom NVMe drivers except possibly for Windows. The problem is that their enterprise drives mostly aren't sold at retail. If you aren't buying them as part of a big B2B deal, you simply can't acquire the hardware.
