Windows 10: Samsung Magician

Then I guess for you, it's only real use, is for firmware updates*Sad. Pretty much for me too, seeing I don't/won't waste writes on benchmarking, although I can use everything except performance optimization(I use windows for that) and RAPID(don't need any more). Although to check system settings for the SSD it's nice, to be able to look only in one place.

 

Not even Firmware update. This Samsung M.2 SSD is an OEM and does not come with a driver. There are only a few mobo that supports it by integrating the driver in BIOS firmware to be able to boot from it.

 

Hello

Samsung may contact for instructions

Can someone please explain how rapid mode speeds up booting, since the ram is empty until the pc is switched on. Does the ssd send the os to ram while the bios is loading?

 

You're absolutely right. It starts after the boot process and actually slows down the boot process slightly.

 

I can't check rapid mode with an 850pro as the only one I have is running W7pro 64. On the same machine is an 840pro 128gb running W10pro 64 and it is in rapid mode according to Magician. This pc has 16gb ram. Firmware is DXM06B0Q for the 840 and Magician is 4.5.

 

Hello,

to the nearest second. I have the same starting time. with or without quick mode

I forgot to mention that the W10 with the 840pro in rapid mode, went through the update process from 8.1pro successfully despite rm left running at the time.

 

You can have only 1 SSD in rapid mode on the same PC.

This works the same way for EVO 850 ... but do not then make restoration of the image ... of what I should do.


But then with crack indicated by Rajinder it works again ...


And Samsung is well find and solve the problems

 

... for each operating system

 

Now, I find that Magician is not working perfectly, when I tried to cancel overprovisioning, the clear op is greyed out.

 

must stop completely and restart the Magician

 

I find that with rapid mode enable under Windows 10 Random Reads and Random write are substantially slower than under Windows 7 plus when I turn rapid mode off random writes increase by 50 percent. My conclusion is Samsung magician is not yet optimized for Windows 10 so I am leaving rapid mode off.

 

Thanks a lot for your appraisal Antec.
I hope this solution to work well till the Samsung team comes up with a legitimate one.
I just don't know why these people test patience of consumers! When they can easily provide a solution in that instant.

Ahh. Anyway enjoy the RAPID Mode *Wink
