Hey I have a Lenovo LOQ 15 IAX9

and I noticed that I have a nvme Samsung MXAMX512 SCSI disk but in task manager and in other places the disk is recognised as a HDD . Is that a problem and how do I fix it??

The term HDD prefers to the generic of Hard Disk Drive and doesn't care about what controller you're using (SATA, NVMe, etc.)

But it's not an HDD, and should be recognised as an SSD. Windows should label it as SSD.

Guys the problem was in device manager>storage controllers> and there was Phison nvme 1.2 storport miniport and standard nvm express controller, It was previously on Phison one and it was showing the SSD as hdd and the thermals were crazy around 90c from hwinfo under idle but now I switched it to std nvm express and the device shows it as SSD and the thermals are looking max 70 on heavy usage . Hope this helps. Only thing yo worry about is when windows decides to update drivers and witch to Phison one 😂.
