Here follows a  list of the tools I found
Now that SSD's, andd NVMe drives are common, I think it's a good idea to post a list of the tools i found up to now :
More tools and Info concerning NVMe and M2 drives

Manufacturer's tools :

Intel SSD Toolbox *    Support for IntelĀ® SSD Toolbox 
Samsung Magician*   Samsung Magician Software Download | Samsung Semiconductor Global             
What tools to use in case of NVMe or m2 drives ? i found several "older" tools work still fine like :
