Well GLAD to see I am not the only one. I have just been told by Samsung that the 960 Evo 256GB NVMe PCIe SSD I sent back to them was not defective yet I could not initialize this drive under Disc Manager or via the command line in Admin mode using the DiskPart utility. Kept getting the dreaded 'incorrect function' error.
System X99 Asus Rampage 10 Motherboard Intel i7 5960X 3GHz latest BIOS
Even worse putting the 960 Evo in the M.2 slot and setting up the BIOS correctly, when I attempted to run the Samsung NVMe Driver .exe it crashed Windows with the blue screen of death every time. The NVMe always showed with ZERO Bytes size. I checked its firmware from the Samsung utility on the Website and it was the latest so at that point I returned the board to Samsung.
It is interesting to note that the replacement Western Digital Black M.2x4 NVMe board installed, initialized and loaded Windows 10 Pro from a USB stick with no problems and this is what my PC boots from now. So this is not my problem and I did nothing wrong. I will open a thread about that successful install to help others with the Samsung 960 Evo problem so they are not alone. See attachment for the current NVMe SSD status.
