Question XPG SX8200 Pro Management Software?

I just installed a XPG SX8200 Pro M2 2TB on my laptop, and have been struggling to find a management software for it. ADATA recommends their own SSD Toolbox in the product page: https://www.xpg.com/en/feature/583?action=feature_gc&piid=583&lan=en but this software only works on SATA devices. It doesn't even lunch after installing, giving an error that no SATA drives were found. Very confusing information from the manufacturer, they should put more effort into this.

But yeah, I've only had Samsung drives in the past and have always used the Magician software to manage them, and I really liked it, it gives a noticeable improvement in performance once everything is done properly. Were can I find similar software for this ADATA drive, or maybe even a generic M2 software that would work with any SSD?

Adata says that the X8200 PRO should work for info (life remaining and TBW) with their toolbox. Outside of that, almost anything that can be done in a utility like Samsung Magician can be done within Windows. With modern SSDs, a person really doesn't need to do things like manually setting an over-provision space (as the drive's controller automatically uses free space). Finally, things like Samsung's Rapid Mode doesn't work on their NVMe drives.

Yeah, they say that, and it would be amazing to see that information in their software, but it simply doesn't open! So frustrating, will try contacting them about it.
 
Is your bios set to RAID or AHCI? I have the same SSD, but I haven't installed any software yet. I have it set to AHCI in the bios. Are you using Intel RST or The Standard Microsoft NVMe Driver?
