Die 980 PRO NVMe SSD überschreibt das Erstellungsdatum von Dateien bei bestimmten Apps.

Hi Felix Schulz,

what you are experiencing on your Samsung 980 PRO is caused by a timing mismatch in the Windows NTFS Tunneling system. When professional applications like Photoshop or Blender save a file, they use an atomic save method: they create a new temporary file, delete the original, and rename the new one. To ensure the "Date Created" remains intact, Windows maintains a memory cache for 15 seconds to "tunnel" the old metadata to the new file. On ultra-fast NVMe drives like the 980 PRO, the I/O operations happen with such low latency that the file system sometimes fails to associate the new file creation with the recent deletion, causing it to assign a brand-new creation date instead.

To fix this, you can increase the persistence of the tunneling cache via the Windows Registry. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem and create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named MaximumTunnelEntryAge. Set this value to 30 (Decimal), which doubles the time Windows "remembers" a deleted file's birth certificate. You should also create a DWORD named MaximumTunnelEntries and set it to 1024 to ensure the cache has enough slots for complex project saves. These settings tell the kernel to be more deliberate when tracking file identities on high-speed storage.

Beyond registry tweaks, it is critical to verify the hardware health of the 980 PRO itself. Early firmware versions for this specific model had documented issues with write-cache management and premature read-only failures. Use the Samsung Magician utility to ensure you are on the latest firmware; if the drive is struggling to commit metadata to the Master File Table (MFT) due to a controller bug, no amount of Windows reinstallation will solve the problem. Finally, ensure you are using the Standard Microsoft NVM Express Controller in Device Manager, as it is designed for maximum compatibility with NTFS metadata protocols compared to third-party filter drivers.
