Installation Guide | SAMSUNG PROPRIETARY |
General Limitations
Firmware Update
1)PC will be shut down automatically after firmware update (Magician counts down 20 seconds before shutdown).
2)Firmware Update may fail on Samsung brand SSDs connected to AMD Controller. Please retry using default SATA AHCI controller (Microsoft drivers).
Performance Optimization
1)Performance Optimization supports only the NTFS file system.
2)Advanced Performance Optimization will take more time to complete. Performance improvement may depend on the user system environment, thus this process is recommended for the user who essentially needs performance optimization. Advanced Performance Optimization is only supported in Samsung SSD 840 EVO (2.5”, mSATA) and 840 Series model.
3)Magician does not support TRIM operation for Standard Performance Optimization on Windows 8 and above, as they support native TRIM. Instead, Magician provide a link to Microsoft Drive Optimizer.
4)Windows may experience slow response while Advanced Performance Optimization is in progress, on ASUS Sabertooth 990FX system with AMD 1.2.1.269 driver.
Secure Erase & Linux Bootable Solution
1)While making a bootable solution for Secure Erase, please make sure the Device Manager window is closed.
2)In some of the PCs, Bootable Solution may not work properly as expected because of compatibility issue.
3)The Bootable solution is not compatible with pure SCSI or SATA NVIDIA/LSI/AMD chipset drivers.
4)AHCI or ATA mode must be enabled in the BIOS during PC boot up.
5)The Bootable solution may hang if the SSD is removed on PCs that do not support the hot plug feature (e.g. ICH5/6 chipsets).
