Windows 10: SSD Samsung Evo 850 & Samsung Magician RAPID mode

Hi guys, i'm using win 10 pro x64 on a samsung evo 850 120gb ssd. My samsung magician just can't recognize the OS, anyone knows how to fix? Thank you and sorry for my bad grammar! *Tongue

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 . . .

 

SSD Functions Strangely - 100% hang, read/write ever few seconds, spikes to 30% | Caused by Windows?

Just used Samsung Magician to make sure that the firmware for my SSD was up to date and it says it is.

You're concluding that my Samsung 850 Evo 120GB is defective then?

 

Nope - Unless you really need a deep queue service, it's snake oil anyways. You can following an ongoing conversation here: Samsung Magician

 

I have a 850 Pro. Rapid mode is not available for W10 yet. I'm still waiting too.

 

ok I get it, I just ask to know if that was a problem because I don't need that rapid mode anyway *Smile, thank you!

 

By the way - Welcome to TenForums!*Smile

 

Actually if you really want it for Win 10 you have to use the previous version. I have it enabled but really don't see any difference with it on or off. Version 4.5

 

Yes, I'm looking forward for further help (and improve my english too *Biggrin)

 

Thank you, but I think that rapid mode may do harm to ssd or sth like that (not really harm but I mean no good *chuckle), and it's no need for normal use

 

Then don't turn it on.

 

I researched it to death and i think it does no harm , seems to me it's all about the inflated benchmarks but for day to day usage i'm convinced it does absolutely nothing lol.

Fortunately for Samsung though , a TON of people really fall for those benchmark numbers and like to show off to others which i will never understand.

If it's not increasing performance in real life which is NOTICEABLE when compared to not using it why even bother , seems like a big scam to me and i have an 850 Pro .

After switching out a much slower SSD that gets much poorer benchmark #'s than the Samsung, i was very surprised to see that in real world computing , you can't tell a difference at all .

I was expecting the Samsung to definitely have an edge in speed and overall performance but i saw none of it , benchmarks are superior on the Samsung but real life performance is the same .

 

Keep in mind, the benchmarks on Samsung magician run at a queue depth of 32. Unless you're using it on the server or extremely heavy file intensive video editing, normal users including gamers will be hard-pressed to exceed a queue depth of four.

 

Agree (y), the only thing I care about is performance and I am satisfied now *Biggrin

 

A little too technical for me to understand but i'm guessing it means under the vast majority of typical computing conditions you won't notice a performance gain .
