Windows 10: Windows 10 does not detect my Samsung SSD 980 Pro

przemek755676 · Mar 16, 2021

I installed new Samsung SSD 980 Pro in my computer. The device is visible in BIOS but my Windows 10 20H2 does not detect it. I am booting my OS from the old drive. I can't find 980 in the Device Manager nor in the Create and format hard disk partitions tool. Do I have to install any drivers? Checking for Windows updates or using Add a device option in Control Panel didn't work. I ran Gparted in LiveCD mode and the disk was found there. I added GPT partition to it and formatted with NTFS and this didn't work either. My MOBO is Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite. What I am doing wrong?

I did an experiment, connected third disk and installed clean Windows 10. The 980 drive is visible here and I can access it's files, so why I can't do it on my current installation?

New Samsung 980 PRO SSD with PCIe 4.0 support up to 7,000 MB/s speeds

980 PRO SSD unlocks a new range of advanced applications for gamers and creative professionals

Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today unveiled the company’s first consumer PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid state drive (SSD) – the Samsung SSD 980 PRO.1 The new 980 PRO is designed for professionals and consumers who want cutting-edge performance in their high-end PCs, workstations and game consoles.

“Over the years, Samsung has continuously challenged the limits of high-speed flash memory storage solutions,” said Dr. Mike Mang, vice president of Memory Brand Product Biz at Samsung Electronics. “The new 980 PRO SSD reflects our continuing commitment to delivering exceptional products consumers have come to expect from Samsung.”

Optimized for handling data-intensive applications, the 980 PRO is ideal for consumers and professionals who work with 4K and 8K contents, and play graphics-heavy games. All the key components, including the custom Elpis controller, V-NAND and DRAM, are completely designed in-house to deliver the full potential of PCIe 4.0. This allows the 980 PRO to provide sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,000 MB/s respectively, as well as random read and write speeds of up to 1,000K IOPS,2 making it up to two times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs and up to 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs.3

In addition to enhanced performance, the 980 PRO comes with outstanding thermal control solutions for improved reliability. While most of today’s high-performance NVMe SSDs rely on external copper heatsinks to diffuse heat, Samsung’s 980 PRO employs a nickel coating on the controller as well as a heat spreader label on the back side of the SSD for efficient thermal management. These innovative heat-dissipating functions also allow the drive to maintain its compact and slim M.2 form factor. Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology further ensures that the drive’s temperature stays at the optimal level, minimizing performance fluctuations over the long haul.

The Samsung SSD 980 PRO comes in 1TB, 500GB and 250GB models, and will be available worldwide starting this month, while the 2TB capacity model will be available by the end of this year. The 980 PRO’s manufacturer’s suggested retail prices start at $89.99 for the 250GB model, $149.99 for the 500GB model, and $229.99 for the 1TB model.

Samsung 850 pro ssd

Hi, I just received a Samsung 850 Pro ssd and BIOS and Samsung Magician both detect it but windows doesn't neither does Disk Management. How do I get windows to detect it and allow me to write to it?

Thanks, Davis
