Nothing to say, I used Magician maybe two times.

You don't need Magician to upgrade the firmware, see my previous post.

Seemed like a useful utility for other things. What utility do you
recommend instead, for temperature readings too. Thanks !

So I installed my KryoM.2 PCIe x4 card today with a 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus blade installed in it. The MP7,1 discovered it without issues.
Where did you buy your Kryo, please? How long did it take.

BinaryFruit DriveDX. It’s a paid app, but it very worth and sometimes you can get it cheaply with bundles.

I bought thru Amazon -> I ordered it Feb 16 and it arrived from Germany Feb 26 (two days earlier than estimated). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0742LW4WB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I do not have Amazon Prime.

I bought my 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus directly from Samsung to ensure it had the latest firmware installed on the blade, and it did. 👍 :)

Be careful with the bubble gum heat spreader. It took off the T2 controller on top of the blade I had in it. Over time, it's like glue.
