@Fredrico71 : Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
What do you see within the section "Storage Controllers" of the Device Manager?
If the NVMe SSD is listed within the Disk Management, the OS has a usable NVMe driver for its NVMe Controller. What about formatting the SSD?
Good luck!

Hi Fernando,
Thank you for your input.
In the storage controllers of the device maanager i have 2:
Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller
Standard NVM Express Controller
I dont know of a way to format the drive, as this is not an option when the drive is uninitialized.
The second entry verifies, that the OS has detected the NVMe Controller of your Samsung NVMe SSD and uses the generic in-box MS NVMe driver.
You should be able to get the attached NVMe SSD initialized (provided, that you are working with full Admin rights and the SSD is still alive).
Hi
I have still not been able to get this drive to work in windows 10.
When I try to create a partition on the drive it comes with error: the device is not ready. Same issue in diskpart. I have not been able to format the drive.
Am I missing something? IS there anyway to format the drive or maybe do a new firmware when windows cant fully access it? bios settings?
After installing the drive the disk management is very slow. I can take 5min to get windows to list the drives on the PC.
The drive is new and it is ment dell server.
windows 10 pro 64bit.
NVME controller hardware IDs:
PCI\VEN_144D&DEV_A822&SUBSYS_1FF31028&REV_01
PCI\VEN_144D&DEV_A822&SUBSYS_1FF31028
PCI\VEN_144D&DEV_A822&CC_010802
PCI\VEN_144D&DEV_A822&CC_0108
I use a StarTech U.2 to PCIe Adapter for 2.5" U.2 NVMe
I have tried alot of the drives on this site.
This is the NVME driver i use atm: generic 64bit Samsung NVMe driver v2.0.8.1611 for Win10x64 mod+signed by Fernando
I imported the Certificate before i installed. The install tok about 5 min, but i did not get an error.
In the disk manager the drive is listed as 1490,42 GB unknown and uninitialized.
In the device manager the drive is listed with no errors: Dell Express Flash PM1725b 1.6TB SFF
In the device manager the NVME controller is listed with no errors: Community NVMe Storport Miniport
Uploaded a pic of the same type of drive that i have.
Hi Fernando,
Thank you for your reply.
As for the drive letter, i cant do anything like that to the drive in the disk management. The drive is listed as uninitialized and lets say i right click and selected properties for this drive. The disk management will start loading, but it will take forever and will not be able to show properties for the drive. As I cant initialize or create a partition on the drive I will not be able to give it a drive letter.
Maybe this is something super simple that I have missed or maybe the drive is faulted.
Im thinking that this is an SSDmade for a spesific DEll EMC server and that is why its not compatible with a normal windows 10 work station.
unfortunately none of the methods on that page work on my NVMe SSD. I get the same error: The device is not ready
Thank you.
Resolved: I used the linux ISO from https://partedmagic.com/ to erase the drive and then create a partition. Very usefull and powerfull tool.

The choice of the “best” storage driver doesn’t depend on the HDD/SSD model, but on
a) the HardwareIDs of the Storage Controller and
b) the OS, which the user is running or want to install.
Standard NVMe Express Controller:
PCI\VEN_144D&DEV_A80A&SUBSYS_A801144D&REV_00
PCI\VEN_144D&DEV_A80A&SUBSYS_A801144D

messed up but its MT001600KWSTB
i geus no chance to make HP driver i already tryed all drivers here
only this old one for 32bit i didnt try but dont think will help.
useing t7610 dual e5-2667 v2 256GB samsung dual rank 16GB dimms

Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
You can only install or replace the driver of the in-use NVMe Controller, which is listed within the “Storage Controllers” section of the Device Manager. You should never try to replace or update the driver of any device, which is listed within the “Disks” section.
Oh k than following is stated ,
Well I get sketchy sites to download driver but I guess better wait what you have to say
Hwinfo says that it’s a 8x connection times 8gt/ s but I only get 4x speeds I checked lanes and put it next to 2cpu 16x slot so it’s primary lanes I have 40 lanes per CPU but I already also removed 1 other nvm to be sure I would have enuf lanes and lanes priority and it only atchives 4x gen 3 pci speeds.
And I knew you had to do in storage controllers but this text dint make any sense to me
If you are not satisfied with the performance or with the stability of Microsoft’s in-box generic NVMe driver, I recommend to do some benchmark tests with the following NVMe drivers (don’t forget to set a “Restore Point” before starting):
a) 64bit Samsung NVMe driver v3.3.0.2003 WHQL for Win10 x64 (installation has to be forced!)
b) 64bit Micron NVMe driver v2.1.19.0 WHQL for Win8-11 x64 (installation has to be forced!)
c) generic 64bit Phison NVMe driver v1.5.0.0 WHQL for Win8-10 x64
If you don’t know how to force the installation of a suitable, but natively not accepted driver, please read >this< post.
I am not running os on this disc so would not need restorepoint I will try in few days when I have time so I guess I need to find these files online somewhere thanks for info I’ll report back when I have some results.
