5.1 Limitations
This section provides a list of Observations and Limitations about the various components of the SSD Magician Software.
General Limitations
1.Some functions of the Samsung SSD Magician software may not work properly on PCs using the SSD in a RAID configuration. In particular, the Magician software may not be able to detect the Samsung SSD in such a scenario.
2.The Samsung SSD Magician application may not be able to detect the Samsung SSD in some PCs with AMD’s Microprocessor (Chipset) if the old version of the AMD AHCI driver is installed on Windows 7. To remedy this, install the latest version of the AMD AHCI driver or use the standard AHCI driver provided with Windows 7.
3.If the SSD is removed by force or if Samsung SSD Magician is abnormally terminated during Performance Optimization or Performance Benchmarking, the data on the SSD may be lost or the SSD itself may suffer physical damage.
Firmware Update Utility Limitations
1.If your SSD(s) is/are configured in RAID mode, the Firmware Update Utility cannot detect the SSD(s). Please disable RAID mode in the BIOS and update the firmware on each drive individually. After updating the firmware, you can reconfigure RAID mode in the BIOS.
2.The firmware update may not be supported in AHCI mode with some AMD chipsets. If this is the case, please change AHCI mode to IDE mode in the BIOS before updating the firmware. After completion of the firmware update process, you can reconfigure AHCI mode in the BIOS.
Secure Erase Utility Limitations
1.If your SSD(s) is/are configured in RAID mode, the Secure Erase Utility cannot detect the SSD(s). Please disable RAID mode in the BIOS and execute the Secure Erase Utility on each drive individually.
