How do I change my SSD name not partition

[OcusPocus]

Hello, I recently bought a new SSD (Kingston SSDNOW UV400 240GB) and while I was cloning my old HDD to my new SSD I noticed that my SSDs name had been changed to the same name as my HDD.

My old HDD was a 1TB WD Blue which had the name "WDC WD10EZEX-6M2NA0" and now my ssd is called that too.

I am not talking about how to change partition letter or how to change your partition name, i need help with changing the SSDs "real" name.

Here is a screenshot of what the SSD is called: https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/377x514q90/922/tDwomV.png

Windows must recognize them as same drives then. Update drivers?

The problem is that the tool that kingston provides (Kingston SSD Manager) says that there are no firmware updates available. I can't find any website which provides drivers for the specific SSD that I have...

Here are some screenshots of what the program shows me.

I found a guide on how to change the name of a device using registry. Assuming that your device does show up there

Actually there was a more straightforward way of changing the disk's name.

When you clone one drive to another drive (as the OP did) the disk-cloning program will nearly always use the source drive's name as the identifying name on the resultant clone. So in this case where the source drive was a WD disk and the destination disk was a Kingston disk, following the disk-cloning operation the Kingston was reflected as WD.

If Disk Management is accessed the user can right-click on the disk's schematic and select Properties from the sub-menu. The designation of the disk will be highlighted in the Properties window, e.g., "WDC WD10EZEX-6M2NA0" (or some such identifying the source disk's name). The user can easily delete that entry and simply enter whatever designation name he/she desires, e.g., "Kingston SSD 240 GB".

Didn't know that, thanks for your reply, now I know how to do it the easier way in the future.
