May have found a cause ?

Noticed today my system has a Samsung NVME driver v1.0 installed !?. Must have happened when I fitted my old Samsung 950 512gb. Question is what will happen if I remove it and where is the Corsair NVME driver ?? (win7).

But surely the reason you have a Samsung driver installed is because you cloned the Windows install from your original Samsung SSD? I agree with the people above, a fresh install would be best. Just backup your games/software, surely it'll be easier all round.

I saved a system restore point and removed the Samsung NVME driver. No change (phew). Fresh install not possible for now, way too much work for a simple issue that doesn't actually affect anything !.

Intelligent suggestions welcomed. What is stopping the Corsair toolbox and some drive benchmarks reading SMART and drive temperature etc ?. The drive is clearly functioning well otherwise....

Does anything happen in device manager if you right click your computer name and select scan for changed? Wonder if it would detect and install any low level drivers?

Yeah lots of 'Base system device' drivers are missing even though I installed all the ASUS stuff when I got the motherboard. Guess some are devices that only work under win 10.... Scan for hardware changes did nothing ('no driver found').... Storage controllers happy though.

Removal of the Samsung driver had no effect.

Is there a bootable image that will read these drives ?. Corsair are ignoring my post on their forums.

What entries do you have listed in device manager -> storage controllers?

Maybe try UBCD.

Would need to incorporate Corsair toolbox into the image (if it would work from there anyway)

I think there is something on there that can be used to read smart data from drives.

A lot of hard drive tools on there but nothing in particular for NVME, M2 or SMART info.

I though SMARTUDM might be able to show something.

I'll burn an image and see what happens..

Tried it and it found nothing (too old)

Buffalo2102 · 18 Nov 2019 at 19:58

Oh well. Worth a try I suppose.

Update..

Booted from a Win10 drive while the MP600 was still in there and it read the TRIM. Corsair need to release an mp600 driver for win7 ! (Samsung do for theirs !)

It’s an issue you yourself created, any normal person would have just reinstalled and restored data from the other drive or the backup they obviously keep. You apparently chose not to, had issues cloning and then more issues because you cloned, non of that is Samsung/Corsair’s issue. Also Win7 is EoL 14th of Jan 2020, again not something any reasonable person would need to worry about as they would have moved on by now.

What a lovely and intelligent reply (not).

Yet i’m not the one blaming everyone else for my poor choices and suggesting Corsair need to support an OS that is EoL in a matter of weeks. Clearly one of us is making better choices than the other. Good luck
