Windows 10: Patriot Viper M.2 SSD RGB software?

Does anyone have an explanation on why I have Patriot Viper M.2 SSD RGB shown in Programs and Features when I've never in my life used any Patriot products? This is on a custom built PC by me and only used by me.





Anyway, the only memory I use is Corsair, in this case my modules include RGB lights. The only SSD's I use are Samsung SSD's - 5 in my case (2 NVME, 3 SATA). See system one system specs.

Just now noticing this so I've no idea how long it's been there; but this system was built from scratch so no "previous" Patriot anything.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Thanks.

:)
