Hello,
I have recently Installed a new 990 Pro 2TB NVME drive into my motherboard's second slot, but the nvme is not being recognised by the Samsung Magician tool. I have attached a printscreen of what I mean. The magician recgonises my other two drives and allows for edits/updates/etc., but my new drive is nowhere to be seen.
So far I have tried:
- Updating the drivers via windows device manager
- Uninstalling the drive via windows device manager
- Re-formatting the drive via windows disk management
- Updating firmware via NVMe SSD-990 PRO Series Firmware ISO file on Samsung's Tool & Software page
Other information:
- I am on Samsung Magician Software version 8.0.1
- The drive is accessible through windows file explorer and I have successfully downloaded and ran a Steam game from it.
- I have recently installed a new motherboard in order to facilitate the second NVME which is the ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT - SOLVED
Ended up fixing the issue after a couple steps. Not quite sure which was the fix but they were:
- Swapped 990 Pro into other NVME slot
- Cleaned drive using diskpart in cmd
- Converted drive to GPT type using diskpart in cmd
- Clean install of windows onto the 990 Pro 2TB via a USB boot drive
- Put the 990 Pro back into its original slot
- Reinstalling Samsung Magician onto clean Windows install
