Native NVMe support in Windows Server 2025 promises dramatic speed gains

Microsoft has introduced native NVMe support in Windows Server 2025, enhancing the performance of modern NVMe devices, including PCIe Gen5 SSDs and high-end Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). This feature eliminates the translation layers that previously routed NVMe I/O through SCSI, resulting in reduced processing overhead and latency. Testing shows that Windows Server 2025 can achieve up to 80% higher 4K random read IOPS and approximately 45% fewer CPU cycles per I/O compared to Windows Server 2022. The enhancements benefit enterprise applications such as SQL Server, OLTP workloads, and virtualization environments using Hyper-V, as well as analytics and AI/ML workloads. To utilize native NVMe, system administrators must use the in-box Windows NVMe driver, and the feature requires an opt-in process with the latest cumulative update and registry key or Group Policy configuration. Organizations should validate the implementation to assess its impact on their production environments.
