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:

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:

Hi
I have the same issue several time, My Computer has an ASROCk x670e pg lightning, just 6 months old. Currently the system drive is an MSI 1tb, so I decide to at the 990PRO for gaming. Suddenly after several months the drive just dissapear from windows 11. Reboot the computer to find out the drive still showing in the BIOS. Restart the computer and reapears in windows again, ran the diagnostic no issues. Open a RMA and Closed it because the drive was working normal again. Today the drive dissapear, restarted once no show. Restarted 2nd time check the bios, drives was listed, then complete the boot cycle and the drive reappears again, no issues after that. Somebody from SAMSUNG needs to explain what is the issue. I was thinking the Main Board may have some issue, but after knowing that this is happening again to other users with different Main Board, I understand the issue is the drive. The situations is I open an RMA they will send me a refurbished drive.

This is my issue too. I use it for only data and gaming. When the computer goes to sleep or shuts down, the drive disappears. I have to either restart multiple times, reinsert the drive (internal) or play with the SATA selection mode in the BIOS.
I've converted it to GPT but still no luck. It's also not showing up on Samsung Magician's dashboard, but it does show up in the dropdown when I try to "transfer OS to a Samsung drive" using Magician.
Am I supposed to install a Windows into the drive or flash it somehow before it shows up on Magician? From research it seems my solution is to update the firmware and increase performance on Magician, but I can't get to that stage.

It's definitely a problem with drive, I am having the same problem with my 990 pro 2tb and have to hard reset to get it into Windows 10. Sometimes it crashes immediately or at random while doing tasks like editing Photos or playing games. I have a 970 1tb which replaced this one and didn't have any problems.

I just got a 990 pro and I cant get it to register on magician either tried everything listed and I just keep getting stuck back at where I was tried running iso but all it does is create a new disk completely separate and it keeps saying invalid serial number in app. As for genuineness I think its hard to perfectly match all the details that samsung has on their packaging, but I am lost now on what the hell to do because I can't get it to register in magician to use any of its tools I've disabled RAID even and it doesn't matter.
