[SOLVED]
Hey guys
I can’t run my Dell SanDisk Fusion ioMemory SX300 6.4 TB on Windows 10. Mobo Asus Proart x870e, Windows 10. I also have a Dell T7810 mobo for testing (Can install a Windows server there).
Searched drivers and solutions everywhere, but no clear info about this.
Installed the Fusion ioMemory VSL4 from the Lenovo website (the only one I found) and after restart it recognized the SSD, but Windows doesn’t see it.
Here is fio-status

UPD2: So the solution was to install the latest drivers of fusion ioMemory.
Here is the spreadsheet with the VSL driver version required for your card.
Here I downloaded from Lenovo the last drivers. https://support.lenovo.com/ru/en/downloads/ds104483
Previous versions didn’t work for me. 4.3.3 worked
After installation you go to C:\SWTOOLS\DEVICEDRIVERS\SSD\dd_fusion-io_iomemory sx300&350_4.3.3_x64_windows\Windows\4.3.3\Software Binaries and install there: Fusion_ioMemory_VSL_4.3.3.957_x64_storport.exe there is also legacy version, but It didn’t work for me. Just gave me BSOD.
After this reboot and setup it up by the guide of this dude:
