Samsung 970 evo plus driver issues

[FinOxy]

Hi there
I bought a new 970 evo plus 2TB m.2 NVMe drive. When I installed it into my main system (in my profile), I could configure it easily enough into a drive. The problem came when I tried to install samsungs drivers on it. And when looking at samsung magician, it does not detect neither of my m.2 drives (I have a pre-existing 970 plus 500gb). After a lot of messages with the correct samsung tech support email, the person on the other end said that my system had detected the 2 TB drive as a USB-device. And followed by saying: "

Please check with Microsoft the settings together, it seems the SSD detected ans USB device. "

It was at this also, that I realised that my 500Gb boot drive was neither running with samsungs drivers. Althought it appears as a 970 evo plus in my task manager. The new 2 TB drive appears only as a microsoft storage device.

Any ideas on how I could get this solved?
I could contact the retailer, but at this point samsung´ s support was not great.

I can't give you a solution to your problem, but you don't need drivers for your SSDs. They are plug any play devices.

^ That.  Plug in the drive, and it works.

 

There is no software needed to use your drive.  

 

If you're curious about your SSDs health status?  "Crystal Disk Info" is your go-to.  It'll tell you /anything/ you want to know.

At least with SSD's that's actually not how it works.

 

Sure, you might want the latest drivers for GPU, Chipset, BIOS and maybe a sound card but that's about it. Not every component needs drivers to work as intended.

Well

Does windows drivers support and run NVMe 1.3?

That is a seperate driver, I think
