Please let me know what else I should try. Also, the new one is a clone of the old one - cloned using Macrium. The only difference between the old and the new is the model and the capacity.

It has the same interface and used the same drivers as the old one. I want to point out that the new SSD was installed exactly at the same M.2 port where the old SSD was installed.

Windows Device Manager still says LiteOn. It says Model = Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 250GB and Firmware = EMT21B6Q. But the GUI attached to the Intel RST Controller shows everything correctly. (c) The machine uses Intel Rapid Storage (RST) controller. So the BIOS recognizes the SSD correctly. BIOS->DRIVES->SATA-4, Type = 250GB SSD, Device ID = Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 250GB. Here are all the things I have tried (with no result): Depending on your system there may be a way to disable that controller entirely and run your storage controller in native AHCI mode, but that's typically a setting that's only changed before a clean Windows installation rather than changed for existing Windows installations, although I believe there's a way to accomplish the latter if you jump through some hoops like a trip through Safe Mode.įirst of all, thank you all for your interest in the problem and suggestions.

Do you see some sort of SATA/RAID storage controller, likely Intel Rapid Storage? If so, that storage controller may somehow still be retaining the LiteOn SSD identifier, although I can't imagine why and have never seen this before. Check your Storage Controllers category in Device Manager. I think the fact that it's identified as a SCSI device is a clue. I've got a hunch that this has something to do with fast boot remembering a boot path across a shutdown/reboot. Also, the events indicate the same.ĭon't know if this would provide any clue but what is displayed in the BIOS?

I have collected together several screen shots in the attached PDF showing that the Samsung SSD (i.e., hardware ID Samsung) shows up with LiteOn label. Just out of curiosity, can you post a screenshot (or more if needed) that shows Device Manager labeling the SSD as a LiteOn while also showing Samsung as the hardware ID ? But I also don't know of a way to change the device "display name" shown in Device Manager. I've never seen that happen despite having cloned multiple PCs using multiple products and multiple versions of Windows. I would like to know if there is a safe way to change the label. It's just that the label used to identify the Samsung SSD in Device Manager still shows LiteOn. Also, under events, it says that the LiteOn device was migrated to Samsung.Īll that is good and makes sense. I know it's the Samsung SSD, although it's called LiteON, because the Hardware ID shows Samsung. In Device Manager, under Disk Drives, I see the Samsung SSD, but it's called LiteOn (i.e., the name was not changed to reflect the make/model of the Samsung SSD). Before replacement, the LiteOn SSD was cloned into the Samsung SSD using Macrium. The LiteOn SSD was physically removed and replaced by the Samsung SSD. What name is shown in the Device Manager properties page that appears? Are you saying you've physically removed the LiteOn SSD and you're still seeing a LiteOn SSD shown in Device Manager, with the Samsung SSD nowhere to be found? Try opening the Disk Management application, and in the lower half of the main area where your disks are listed, right-click the "tile" toward the left corresponding to your Samsung SSD and choose Properties - make sure you're actually selecting your Samsung SSD based on the capacity of the drive. The reason is that the name shown in Device Manager is based on the drivers that are loaded to support that device, or from the device itself in the case of generic drivers for things like hard drives, optical drives, USB controllers, etc.

Please could anybody provide some explanation why this happened? Also, is there away the new (installed) disk could be called by its correct name in the Windows Device Manager? OS: Windows 10 Thanks, Debabrata Mitra That is instead of being called "Samsung EVO 256GB", it's called "LITEON 128GB", the name used by the old SSD. But in Windows Device Manager, the new Samsung Disk shows up with the old LITEON name. After cloning, the Samsung EVO 256GB SSD booted fine and everything is working.

I used Macrium to clone the LITEON SSD into a Samsung EVO 850 M.2 256GB SATA SSD as I needed additional disk space.

Hello, My DELL Optiplex Micro desktop PC originally had a LITEON 128GB M.2 SATA SSD.
