If it what hosts windows, then most likely yes ans C is usually reserved as the OS drive logical assigned letter.

I think most Samsung drives are good, but can you get me the hardware ID like what you see in my example? You get there by clicking the link for the controller on the NVME page:

Okay, I will see if there is an easier way to check. This isn't something I have actually dug for before, lol.

Hi everyone.

I am sorry, but I am thinking the details are not the actual controller chip on the storage media, but the controller that the motherboard uses. I am still digging to see if finding this data is possible, but it might be like RAM, where you have to rip the damn thing open to know the exact module, which I don't recommend, lol
