I recently installed a new Samsung 960 Pro NVMe SSD into my MSI z97 gaming 5 motherboard and I am using a PCIe Gen3 x4 adapter in a PCIe Gen3 x8 slot. The SSD works es expected. I have Samsung Magician 5 installed and it says rapid mode for my 960 pro is not supported. However, it does say that my Samsung 850 EVO is supported for it. I tried installing the latest RST driver to see if it would fix the issue and I am getting a failure message. Why can't I install the latest RST driver? Why isn't my 960 pro supported for rapid mode?

I have images posted in this forum post

I have three drives. Samsung 960 pro, Samsung 850 Evo, and a Sandisk Ultra 2. I am not doing a RAID array. Is RST specifically for RAID?
