Bought a 970EVO and doing some pre-deployment testing of iEEE1667 encryption. I am also having bad luck with our Intel 7600p drives doing this - another story.
Anyway, I have the drive installed on a PC with nvme slot and Magician 5.2 is telling me it is not supported. Anyone else got the 970EVO to work with their Magician software? I need Magician to enable edrive capability for bitlocker hardware encryption (unless Samsung had a CLI tool for doing this?).
I did download the Samsung nvme 3.0 driver and installed with same result.
I did call Samsung support which was knowledgable, but did not offer anything useful.
Having the same issue as these folks. I've got a MSI Z170-A PRO with an i5-6600K. For the record, Magician 5.2 does recognize my 850 EVO, which I have used happily for months now without issue.
I had this same problem with my 970 EVO Plus, using SM 5.3, with the latest NVMe driver installed, AHCI in the BIOS. In my case, I was setting up the computer offline (no Internet access). Once I connected the computer to the Internet, Magician recognized the drive as supported.
