Update of the start post
Changelog:

• Samsung NVMe drivers:
  • new: "pure" 32/64bit Samsung NVMe Drivers v2.0.0.1607 WHQL dated 10/10/2016
  • new: Samsung NVMe Driver Installer Set v2.0.0.1607 WHQL
  
  Thanks to Guru3D for the source package, to NIK1 for the info and to tistou77 for the extraction of the pure drivers.
  Notes:
  The included 32/64bit Samsung NVMe drivers are dated 10/10/2016, WHQL certified by Microsoft and seem to be usable with all Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up.
  Contrary to the older v2.4.7.0 ones these NVMe drivers do not contain an additional SCSI filter driver.
  Similar to the v2.4.7.0 drivers these newer ones do support the Samsung NVMe Controllers with the DeviceIDs DEV_A802 and DEV_A804, which are within Samsung's most popular consumer NVMe SSDs like SM951, SM961, SM961 SED, PM961 and 950 Pro SSDs.

Bizarre, if I install the drivers Samsung NVMe 2.0 by the device manager, the disks are indicated SCSI Disk Device (see screen)

---

As you can see here, my Samsung 950 Pro NVMe SSD running Win10 x64 Build 14971 with the Samsung NVMe driver v2.0.0.1607 is shown as "Samsung SSD 950 Pro 256 GB", that means without the suffix "SCSI Disk Drive":

I suspect, that we are running different Operating Systems.
Which OS are you running?

Not possible to have the name "normal" ?

---

What is "normal" and why do you think, that it is bad to run an SSD as "SCSI Disk Drive"?

Have you installed by .exe or device manager?

---

I generally install my storage drivers manually from within the Device Manager (to avoid the additional installation of garbage and for a trouble-free driver update on-top of the previous one).

By the way: Today I have done the recently announced benchmark tests with my Samsung 950 Pro comparing the performance of different NVMe drivers. You can find the results >here<.

Bizarre, that I do not like you installing by the device manager

According to Samsung's User Guide for the Magician DC v2.0 this software only supports the Samsung SSDs SM863 and PM863. Look >here< on page 7.

@tistou77:
Thanks for the benchmark tests.

It seems that Microsoft drivers are little better on some points

---

You will not realize these differences. More important are the overall READ and WRITE scores and they are better with Samsung's latest NVMe driver v2.0.0.1607.
