WTF. The default window drivers need to be removed. What should you do when you can’t find the drivers from the original source?! https://www.lexar.com/en/download_cat/ssd It’s their 240GB version. Big Gov lets ticking bs and spying apps, but Lexar isn’t permitted to provide a driver.
The site doesn't list any drivers for that SSD. It mentions Data Shield encryption and Lexar Dash utility, similar to Samsung Magician. The standard Microsoft driver should function. What problems are you encountering?
You wouldn't expect drivers to be present here. The dashboard confirms this—manual mode is active, not driver-based. There are no visible drivers on the screen. I checked Tor in Denmark, but no relevant information appears. The US government message isn’t shown either. No drivers were mentioned during the call. They only provided instructions for using a VPN and shared links for manual setup, but nothing about drivers.
I don't think you're implying that the default driver files from Microsoft are identical to those provided by the manufacturer. Just because it operates correctly doesn't guarantee it's fully optimized.
The SSD is a standard product, offering nothing special for drivers. When available, they usually perform poorly. The lack of drivers here isn’t due to a warning popup, but because none exist. The issue likely relates to the drive firmware, and it seems to show up even when no firmware is present.
