I've installed the latest intel drivers and the Marvel drivers are installed also.  I have 3 storage controllers listed in device manager.  My Intel 100 series storage controller, my Marvell 92xx controller, and a Standard AHCI controller.  
 
I can't find out how to install the driver for this device.  What is this?

    Is it still there after a reboot? I only show the two controllers but I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and a Z97 motherboard.

    The other controller shows up under "storage controllers"  I tried installing the Asmedia 106x driver but it didn't like it.

    The Standard AHCI Controller is the Microsoft default driver. It was in my Device Manager until I installed the ASMedia SATA-3 drivers from my motherboard's support page and then it went away.

    Well, I kind of figured this out.  I have a Samsung M.2 drive.  Apparently, there is a different controller for that.  Haven't found a driver for it though.

    Hopefully it's working so it must have some kind of driver installed even if it is the default Microsoft driver. The only bad news about Samsung SSDs is they don't have a support forum for any problems unless things have changed since my last visit.

    nm.......found answer to my question
     
     
    "It says right on the* board that the use of the m.2 shuts off sata ports, of that helps. On old board, the m.2 shut off lanes to a x8 pci lane. Hopefully that helps a little. I don't have a z170 to help any further than that though

    I sure wish it was better advertised that M.2 shuts off SATA ports......Might have affected shopping choice.
