Samsung 970 Evo

New drive not being seen by SSD Life pro. Pc has 3 drives 970 is a freshly installed boot drive with W10.
Other 2 drives are an 860 SSD and a Sandisk SSD.
So the 860 and the Sandisk show up but the 970 doesn't.
Obviously the 970 is working as it is running Windows. Crystal Disk Info shows all three disks.
Any ideas?

From what I can tell the app hasn't been updated since 2014, nvme drives are probably not supported, its not really an SSD, its an nvme drive that runs on PCI-e lanes direct to the CPU.

I had a horrible feeling that would be the case.

Did you install the Samsung NVME driver?

I have it installed and downloaded the app, doesn't detect any of my 2 nvme drives the only drive it detected was my Evo 860 SSD.

I found this out last week, used CrystalDisk Info instead.
