Please help.
I have just got a 970 EVO plus 2tb to add to my second m.2 port.

Samsung magician is seeing the drive but won't allow me to install the drivers.

Anyone got some help ???

@Willfox84 Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Are you sure, that the second M.2 port of your mainboard supports NVMe at all?
Which OS are you running?
Which Controllers are listed within the "Storage Controllers" section of the Device Manager?
By the way - Samsung's Magician can flash a new Firmware into your Samsung SSD, but cannot install any storage driver. This has to be done either by using a driver installer or manually from within the "Storage Controller" section of the Device Manager.
Good luck!

hi thanks for reply yes I've checked it supports
M.2 NVMe� PCIe® 3.0 SSD
i7 11th gen
its running windows 10

The storage controllers listed are
Intel RST VMD Controller 9A0B
Intel RST VMD Managed Controller 09AB
Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller

I've downloaded the Samsung drivers just wont install.
i seen online that some have had to change things in bios to get it to install

in my bios there is under the advanced settings RAPID Storage Technology and mine is set on
INTEL RST 18.1.1.5201 RST VMD Driver

and under that is non-RAID Physical drives where both my m.2 drives are listed.
