Wow, been a long time using MS products. I still have my old floppy disks from DOS 6.22, WFW 3.1 and 3.11, Windows 95 and all the rest of them that are on discs.... but stopped at Windows 7 Pro. Been happy with this op system for a long time. I have my disc and SP-1 as well. My computer was updated until MS ended support for Win 7. Forgive me but I am an old fart in my 60's and playing catch-up on my drives.... still using the good old WD Gold Enterprise Drive in my computer vs the cheaper ones.
I recently bought a new Samsung 980 PCI-e SSD drive. It is (NOT) the 980 pro Gen 4. The 980 is a gen 3, 1TB drive (MZ-V8V1T0B/AM). My mother board is a Gigabyte GA-X99p-SLI that supports this drive. It is detected in the bios as well by Windows 7, however there is no driver I can find at this time. On Samsung's web site the offered drivers for this series type drive covering about 10 models, up to the 970 Pro. It is an all-in-one package for many models. Then for unknown reasons it skipped the 980 series, gen 3, Pcie. It starts again at the 980 Pro which is a Gen 4 drive and much faster.... I do not know if it was an accident or just missed, maybe they forgot to list on the web site.... I do not know.
Samsung Tech support referred me to Total Tech Solutions (TTS) that is responsible for these SSD drives and I have not hear back at this time. I thought since I have been using MS all these years.... maybe the BBS / Community here might have a solution for me. Again, it is showing up in the Control Panel under devices.... just no driver to make functional.
I have forgotten many things over the years and as time goes on, and my memory is not the best due to age. I remember in my younger days taking MS Certified Courses and also got my Cert in Novell back in the 70's I think it was.... I still build my own home systems and you could say my computer here is more of a gaming type system, but not building too often. I get tired of using my reading glasses with a Magnifying glass just to see when working on a board.
Any help is appreciated and thanks for reading.
