M.2 SSD questions

So I purchased and installed a 512gb M.2 SSD, I used the windows 10 Disk Manager to create a "simple drive" and assign it a drive letter, in this case "E" was the next available letter so that's what I used. The drive shows up in File Explorer and behaves normally as far as I can tell, I can create folders on the drive, transfer files etc.

This is where the odd part comes in... In the control panel under device manager it shows up under the heading "other devices/ Saitek Bulk Storage and that has the little yellow warning triangle next to it. when I open the properties tab for the device it says "driver not installed" but I don't have a driver, I can't find one on the web, and as far as I can tell it shouldn't need a driver, but I'm not certain about that.

Like I said, the drive functions normally so far as I can tell. Is this warning in the control panel device manager something I need to be concerned about, and if so has anybody got any suggestions on how to go about this.

Thanks.
 
Solution
It doesn't show up as a drive unless it's hooked up to a SATA port, windows sees no driver but it doesn't need one. No problems just keep going.
