Optiplex 7490 - SSD Utility for KIOXIA BG4

Question

Hi, I have an Optiplex 7490 with a SSD listed as     NVMe KBG40ZNS256G NVMe KIOXIA 256GBin device manager. Googling KBG40ZNS256G takes me to https://business.kioxia.com/en-emea/ssd/client-ssd/bg4.html which tells me it's a BG4 series Client SSD. What I cannot find is a utility that tells me the status of the SSD like most other major manufacturers have. Kioxia does not have, shall we say, the best organized web site. I see this: https://personal.kioxia.com/en-emea/software/ssd-utility.html ... but that's for the EXCERIA series. It doesn't work for the BG4. I tried. It says, 'No supported drives found'. Anyone know where I can find a SSD check utility for the BG4? Response from Dell staff preferred since, well, you guys sold me this thing. Thanks.

We are following up to let you know that we received an update from our level 3 team and they have suggested to use the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Application which is from Dell as there is no Utility from the vendor.

Thanks redxps630 and tibi500cid, but I'm really looking for something from the manufacturer, which is why I asked for a response from Dell.
