Clean-Installing Windows 10 on a Samsung SM951 SSD

I want to install Windows 10 on a new SM951 SSD (NVMe). When booting from my install medium (Zalman VE300, USB-Drive-Emulator, Windows 10 x64 ISO)the setup does not show the drive in the list of available disks.

Starting a CMD (Shift+f10) and running diskpart list disk doesn't show the SSD aswell.

Is there a driver i need to reload for the setup to recognize the SSD, or how can i make the setup find the SSD?

My machine is a Asus ROG G572 with currently 3 installed drives

  • 1TB HHD
  • 256GB SSD (NVMe) (Stock OS drive)
  • 512GB SSD (NVMe, SM951) (Should become my new OS drive)

Edit:

When booting from my current OS dirve, Windows does detect all 3 disks and all 3 are working properly. The problem occurs only in the windows setup.

Edit 2:

All 3 drives are visible in the BIOS (Both SSDs: Status: Non-RAID, Controller Type: NVMe, CtrlInterface: PCIe)
Using the drivers from did not work (The setup did not find any signed drivers)

I could solve the problem by chaning the default "(of my laptop)" BIOS SATA mode from RAID to AHCI.
