How to Enable AHCI for SSD in Windows 10.

AHCI mode looks enabled on Bios, but disabled on Samsung Magician. Also read and write values looks correct. What gives? Is it a bug on Samsung Magician?

 

BSOD UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT 'probably caused by SamsungRapidDiskFltr.sys'

Hi Ban, are you running a Samsung SSD & Samsung Magician 4.4, with RAPID mode turned on.

If so Updating the Samsung Magician software should get rid of the BSOD's according to the Samsung forum . . .

 

they probably disabled rapid mode due to massive complaints. sorry but if the drive has to steal ram to increase it's speeds something is majorly wrong.

There is already a Samsung Magician update thread , I created back in May 2015 during Windows 10 Technical Preview*Wink
Solved Samsung Magician - Windows 10 Forums
If you went there you would know to go to Major Geeks(I posted a direct link to the download page)*Smile*Smile

 

thanks but i just googled. will say rapid mode in the new software makes a HUGE difference:

Pre-Rapid Mode





Post-Rapid Mode

 

Ive installed Magician 5, but when I click on System Compatibility it gives a warning saying:
Driver
Intel Corporation 12.8.10.1005
Under the current configuration some functions of magician CANNOT be run. To enable these functions and ensure optimal performance it is recommended you visit the website below and update the driver to the latest version
Downloads for Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology (Intel(R) RST)
However when I download that or the latest version of this software, my system tells me the latest version is already installed.

Rapid mode, SMART and performance benchmark seem to work fine, so I wondered what is the functionality that it says cannot be run. I dont really want to downgrade the RST driver. Are there any other functions or is this just poor prgramming of magician not recognising a later driver

 

Hahhah, this new version of magician is a joke. Where did all the old features go? ...or do consumers not need anything else than Rapid mode on/off, benchmark, firmware upgrades and SMART info? Now I am not in control of anything anymore.

 

nice timing since i was just going to download the latest version to test.

 

Magician only works with Samsung's SSDs. You need to download Intel's version from their website.

 

[SOLVED] I do have Samsung drives installed, not Intel; a Samsung 840 EVO and a Samsung 850. I solved the issue though. I managed to install a later RST and this enabled the Performance Optimization function in Magician.

 

also there is no speed boost under rapid mode in 5.0, so what happen to rapid?

 

I havent used rapid for sometime.

 

Fill in your system specs and you might be able to get an answer. Please don't just post them in the thread here, go to: https://www.tenforums.com/profile.php?do=extra

The features you see/get, will depend on which SSD from Samsung you have.
Read their Magician Software Installation Guide at the download page for more info.
