I made a WIN RE USB and adderd an folder with the RST drivers. This was a USB 3 stick abd I came to find out that my machine will only do a USB boot in a 2.0 port. Fine. Booted the WIN RE stick with no request for Intel Drivers and it presented me with the option to restore the drive from a...

Ideally, I'd boot a WIN RE usb and add the intel drivers if asked then go into restore a system image from an NVME enclosure ontoth enew drive in the PCIe slot on the mother board. Havent done it in a while but IIRC the WIN RE usb will prompt for them. Similar to a fresh install when and if it...

Wow. My other option os to do a fresh install on a new drive and add the Intel drivers to the Windows USB. I'm kind of surprised MS doesn thave those drivers built in. Hate to tdo it but there isnt a whole lot to clone. I;d nee to download some HP software. Thank you for your reply.

I need to boot into a windows environment and use Intel RST drivers I have on the USb in a separate folder. They're for an Intel RST / VMD controller and I'm sure Windows doesnt have them built in. I'm trying to clone an nvme onto a new drive and Acronis is not seeing the new drive.

Quite by accident I discovered a way to update the firmware that doesnt require another PC or sending it back to Samsung. 1. Make a Windows To Go 64gb USB with Rufus. 2. Remove the 990 Pro and install it into an NVME USB enclosure. 3. Boot the Windows USB and download and install the latest...

This material is dated 2016 prior to NVME drives and refers to drivers beginning with 14.x.x.x Mine is 19.x.x.x. My bios reports not running raid mode. I specifically called WD/Sandisk and discussed this with them and after they checked they advise my PC would update the firmware through...

If my memory serves me correctly a few years agoSamsung released a firmware update through Magician that tanked more than a few drives. In roughly three years they've released 7 firmware uppdates for the 990 pro which is odd somehow. The Intel RST VMD controller is an extremely common...

Magician is reporting the current firmware for my drive begins with 5XXXXXX. There are 3 subsequent updates I cannot install unless I remove the drie and instll it into a portable and make a Rufus USB with the ISO and go to another PC, flash, then reinstall. A whole lotta bother when I can do...

I'm considering swapping my very low time Samsung 990 Pro 1TB for this Wester Digital. I am running an HP All In One i7 with an Intel RST VMD Controller 467F. The bios does not allow me to revert to AHCI to allow me to use a cobbled Rufus . Samsung ISO to update the firmware and Samsung tells...

I'm running MS Professional Plus 2024 Putlook (Classic) LTSC local copy although it seems to also install at least a link to Outlook (New). I can have iCloud open and yet not be able to log in to iCloud to sync contacts & calendars etc. I cant adequatley track this fault to any one particular...

I started using and building computers in 1988 and until I retired I depended on them for CAD work. I bought this high end (3 years ago) HP AIO and am satisfied but I do have to insist on being able to update firmware on a premium ($320 USD on Amazon) drive. No IDE etc. All I have is a ZIF...

My comments posted to the Samsung site - I installed this is an Intel i7 generation 12 system. Intel enjoys about 65% of the US PC market and the overwhelming majority of this market share uses the Intel RST VMD Controller 467F. I bought it for its speed and 5 year warranty and for what I...

Has anyone running iCloud for Windows and syncing iCloud Contact & Calenders experienced any syncing issues with Outlook 2024 ? I can acess iCloud in Chrome and log in to iCloud but I keep losing the log in for iCloud for Windows. No matter how many times I log in. This started April 1 or...

Overnight Samsung has altered the response you get in Magician when you clock the update button. Instead of reporting that there is a firmware update it now reports that you have the latest. I guess so you dont call their tech support and complain. They are very well aware of the issue and...

I'm planning on getting rid of this drive. I called Western Digital and their firmware updates is only handled though their interface and they do not offer ISO files. They were aware of this Samsung issue and they advised they dont have this problem. Is anyone aware of any other comparable...
