@ cristy6100

Yes, I'm aware of that as I installed the AMD AHCI Driver to replace the quite old Microsoft's one.
As for the Samsung NVMe Driver, I had that already installed of course.
Well, I'll have to wait for a fix based on a new BIOS version I suppose ....

The driver you need is provided by Samsung here http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/960evo/, give it a go and report back, tho I don't think it will help with this issue, it will help with Write/Read speeds.
This bug occurs only from bios 4.4x onward, 4.40 was not affected I tested this myself, but 4.40 has other problems, so no go there either, new bios is the only fix as far as I tested if you have Raven Ridge, for older CPU's you can downgrade to 3.xx

Its because the nvme controller for the M.2 is not that one for which you installed the driver, the nvme is listed under Storage Controolers and is called Standard NVM Express Controller.
The one you listed is the 4 port 6Gbps SATA Controller that now has AMD Drivers instead of the Microsoft provided ones

Or the newer ones NOT whql, 64-Bit only 1.3.1.277 just below it

Either.

But test before and after. Never assume.

English.
So if I'm not mistaken, I'm supposed to pick these:
a) AMD AHCI/RAID Drivers
64bit Win8-10 AMD AHCI Driver v1.3.1.276 WHQL
Am I right?

Try these here. Pay attention to the Hardware ID's that you get the correct ones. I'm thinking yours should be same as mine, 7901, but check there on yours.

Too, prior I'd maybe run two or three throughput tests to get an avg, the switch manually and do three more for an avg on the AMD ones.
