SSD drives recognized differently in Windows 7

Hi all, I recently installed Samsung 850 EVO 120GB and 2TB drives in my PC and under Windows 7 -> Device Manager -> Disk drives it lists them as follows:

Samsung SSD 850 EVO 120GB
Samsung SSD SCSI Disk Device

Any reason the 2TB drive is not recognized the same? If it helps, I used the 120GB drive in a fresh install of Windows 7, the 2TB drive I added later.

SCSI is set of standards that include SATA, PATA etc. If OS desn't recognize it's BIOS properly it just shows it as generic drive.

So it's just Windows 7 randomly not identifying the 2TB SSD correctly, even though it's the same model as the 120GB one? Both SSDs are shown correctly in BIOS. I also read the Intel RST driver messes up the way Windows displays storage devices in Device Manager....

In any case, as long as the drive is functioning correctly I should be good, even though my OCD side won't like it....
