Performance Benchmark may get timed-out on Asmedia controllers if the driver does not handle multi thread operations (IOs)”Ģ0. Please retry using default sata ahci controller(Microsoft drivers)ġ9. Firmware Update may fail on Samsung brand SSDs connected to AMD Controller. Security mode(Class 0, TCG/Opal or Encrypted Drive) must be disabled(unlocked) before removing and installing onto another PC.ġ8. PC will be shut down automatically after firmware update (Magician counts down 20 seconds before shutdown)ġ7. RAID on mode in SATA configuration is not supported by Samsung magician and DOS application.ġ6. In this case, rollback to the older version.ġ5. * Also, when a specific or latest IRST driver (IRST 12., 12.) is installed, the authentication function may not work correctly. Then enabling of Write cache buffer/flushing in SSD may fail (OS Optimization). When the IRST driver is enabled / Installed in system. If User cannot span or shrink volume size through disk management of OS administration tool, it is possible not to work Dynamic over-provisioning properly.ġ4.

Secure Erase is not supported for Windows 8 and 8.1 systems.ġ0. Microsoft provides a hot fix for this issue at. This feature may be disabled by Windows XP/2003 if your SSD is less than 137GB in size. The Performance Optimization feature relies on the ATA PASS THROUGH feature to pass the TRIM command to the SSD. It may be necessary to manually refresh the disk list in System Information before performing benchmarking or performance optimization on a newly attached disk.Ĩ. Benchmarking results are for a Queue Depth of 32.ħ. The user may need to manually refresh the disk list in System Information for Magician to accurately reflect all connected/removed disks.Ħ. Magician will not work on SSDs that are locked with a user password.ĥ. Magician may not work with other partition types.Ĥ. Only MBR and GPT partition types are supported. Magician does not work with SSDs connected via the SCSI controller interface.ģ. SSD-specific features like Firmware Update, Disk Health Status, Secure Erase, and Total Bytes Written are not supported for non-Samsung SSDs.Ģ. Magician is designed specifically for Samsung-branded SSDs. Performance results may vary depending on measurement conditions including, without limitation, the foregoing cases numbered from 1 to 6.ġ. Change the Power Management option to High Performance and measure speed again.ħ. If you are running a program that may affect system performance, please close the program and measure speed again.Ħ. This is only a temporary phenomenon caused by your Samsung SSD’s Dynamic Thermal Guard feature, which is provided with Samsung SSD’s firmware and may be engaged to protect the Samsung SSD in some systems with poor thermal management capabilities.ĥ. When the temperature of the system is high, the measured speed may be slow. We recommend you to connect NVMe SSDs to PCIe ® slots.Ĥ. With some mainboards, a NVMe SSD connected to a PCle slot tends to perform better than when connected to an M.2 slot. You can check this via the Interface menu on the Magician Home screen.ģ. If you have an NVMe SSD, check whether both the NVMe Interface and PCIe ® 3.0, x4 Lane are supported and correctly connected. You can check this via the Interface menu on the Magician Home screen.Ģ.
