hi i had samsung Magician 4.5 and it doesn't find updates, everytime i check for update ,it told me it's updated so i download from the homepage 4.6 , i warns me about new firmware and it enabled advanced optimization , it takes a lot to be complete but what does the advanced performance optimization do ? move files and when should be used the advanced performance optimization ? only in case of degrade or every x months? Thanks Anon!
Thank Anon but let's think about this scenario you own 2 ssd , on the first ssd you have w8 installed and on the second sdd w7 you are working with w8 so the second ssd is idle and start to perform an internal Optimization you shut down your pc while the second ssd idle is performing its internal optimization ,what could be happen ? lost of data?
I have another scenario: You own 4 ssd , on the first ssd you have w10 installed, on the second sdd w8.1, on the third ssd w7, on the forth ssd w vista....... To answer your question: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/contact You better ask the Samsung support.
Anon , 4.6 has feature only for 840 evo , no for 840 and 850 evo , right? by the way it's weird that even samsung mag. even checks for update at every startup , the 4.5 doesn't find any update thanks Anon cheers

hi browsing the net ,i read about samsung ssd 840 evo performance restoration tool , but is there a way to download it ? can't find it
I don't believe that is used any longer, mantra. Rather, you upgrade to the latest firmware and run Advanced Performance Optimization in the latest version of Magician (see screenshot).
The standalone tool is available in the following link. Release date was around Oct 2014 with version 1.1. http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/get/samsung_840_evo_performance_restoration_tool,1.html However Prius04 is correct. Standalone tool has been integrated into the Magician 4.6, then click advanced to run the optimisation process.
hi thanks i run it did you notice that under 850 evo the last software is 4.5 ? 4.6 is only in thr 840 evo page

we end up having the most complaints about the samsung ssd's from clients. we have for the time stopped selling them. i know about the software and firmware updates (we are a retailer) my tried and true intel drives are still my fav's even though maybe not quite as fast. they have been rock solid imo.
hi thanks for share it! complaints about speed , reliability & life spam? but which are the intel rivals of the 850 evo?
while we do not see the same issues much with the 850 we still had a high failure rate with those as well. @mantra mostly reliability we had many that had issues.
Finally there have been 2 new updates regarding the broken Samsung SSDs. You can read about it here. The problem is described to be related to the Linux kernel:
As an 840 EVO user, I did the firmware update that was offered some year ago, then I also did the "Advanced Performance Optimization" that was offered some months ago, and today, things are just as slow as they used to be with this crapware.
People used to laugh at me when I advised them not to buy any TLC based SSD. It's not too late now to quit buying such devices. MLC is more reliable and durable. Compared to the Samsung EVO (TLC crap), many MLC ssds are not more expensive, or even cheaper sometimes.
