Hey, I noticed the same issue with your system after upgrading from the 850 EVO to the 860 EVO. It seems some software still thinks you're running the older drive. Your Samsung Magician is the only tool that correctly identifies the 860 EVO setup. Let me know if you need help resolving it. Your specs look solid—i7 8700K, RTX 3080, 16GB RAM, and the SSDs are well-chosen.

Did you transfer the drive or reinstall Windows? If you did, I don't see it, why does the system recall the 850 EVO? If you haven't reinstalled yet, doing so should resolve the issue.

I faced a similar issue where Windows mistakenly treated my 860 Evo as the old WD HDD I cloned. This doesn't affect its performance. (For accurate testing, tools like CrystalDiskMark can help benchmark your drive and compare it with other 860 Evos.) Yes, a fresh Windows installation will resolve this. I don't think renaming the drive adds any real value.
