Re: WD SN850X not recognized
(You posted to incorrect topic, so I moved to proper topic).
I'm afraid what you see is completely normal and expected.
The problem is that the default standard NVMe controller driver of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 is limited: as you see, it does not allow accessing disk status information. This is a bug/limitation of the Windows 7 / 8.1 standard NVMe controller driver, NOT a limitation of Hard Disk Sentinel at all.
And exactly because of this, the status and the solution to replace the driver to a working one is described at:

Please check that page for the details and step-by-step instructions about how to download and install a proper NVMe driver (if there is no manufacturer-specific driver available for your SSD and this OS).
