Samsung Magician does not officially support software RAID environment.
-
Samsung Magician is optimized for a display resolution of 1920 × 1080. If you encounter any issues, consider adjusting the display ratio of Samsung Magician using the «Display» option found within the «Settings» menu.
-
Firmware is a tiny software program embedded in semiconductor chips, like NAND chips. It contains the essential software code and commands that enable a device to function. Manufacturers regularly release firmware updates to enhance the hardware’s performance and quality. For Samsung SSDs, firmware updates can be applied using the Samsung Magician software. After updating, a system reboot is necessary for the changes to take effect on the drive. The Magician software is available for download from Samsung’s website at
https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/.
-
You can verify your firmware using the «Drive Details» feature within the Magician software. If new firmware is available, a «Updated version is available» notice will appear next to the firmware name, or you can check using the «Update» button in the software.
-
Although the firmware update process does not impact the data stored on the SSD, it is strongly advised by Samsung to perform a complete data backup of the SSD before proceeding with the firmware update.
-
After connecting the new storage device, it is necessary to manually refresh Samsung Magician software or reboot the PC.
If you have a Samsung branded SSD, confirm that the SSD is detected by the operating system.
In case of SATA, your SSD should be detected as either an IDE or an AHCI device. If not, installing the standard AHCI controller driver for Microsoft Windows may solve your problem.
Some old AMD chipsets and AMD drivers are not supported by Samsung Magician.
Please check the Drive Details tab for information on compatibility issues.
If the SSD is connected to a RAID/SCSI storage device controller, the program may not detect the SSD properly.
If this happens, please install the default MS drivers that are automatically installed during Microsoft operating system installation.
-
For details about your currently installed version of Samsung Magician and to confirm if it’s the latest, click the «Update» button. This will ensure that you’re running the latest version of Magician. To access the latest software and manuals, please use the following link:
https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/
-
Please check the status of your internet connection and try again after restarting your PC. Samsung Magician needs access to the internet to authenticate the drive as a Samsung product. If the problem persists, please contact an authorized Samsung service center.
-
Samsung SSD complies with the International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association (IDEMA) standard, which classifies approximately 93 percent of SSD’s actual physical memory capacity as usable storage space. To make it easier for consumers to calculate, Samsung manufactures the drive’s capacity based on the assumption that 1GB equals 1,000 megabytes (MB), not 1,024 MB. When estimating a capacity, the operating system calculates based on 1,024 MB, resulting in the discrepancy between the reported capacity and the actual capacity.
*The notation of the drive capacity may vary depending on the operating system.
-
1. If you have a SATA SSD, make sure that it is correctly connected to a SATA3 port. You can check this via the «Interface» menu on the Magician Home screen.
2. If you have an NVMe SSD, check the maximum PCIe speed and lanes your system supports and make sure you’re connected accordingly. You can see the details of your system on the «System Details» screen in Magician.
3. With some mainboards, an NVMe SSD connected to a PCle slot tends to perform better than when connected to an M.2 slot. We recommend you to connect NVMe SSDs to PCIe® slots.
4. When the temperature of the system is high, the measured speed may be slow. 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.
5. If you are running a program that may affect system performance, please close the program and measure speed again.
6. Change the Power Management option to High Performance and measure speed again.
7. Performance results may vary depending on measurement conditions including, without limitation, the foregoing cases numbered from 1 to 6.
-
Since each type of storage interface has a different maximum performance, the CPU resources required to fully achieve optimal performance on the interface will vary from interface to interface.
-
Drive Health and total usage information are only available for Samsung branded memory products and depend on which S.M.A.R.T. attributes your drive supports. If S.M.A.R.T. is not supported, it is displayed as N/A.
-
Samsung Magician continues to support the EOLed SSD for firmware updates and use of features. However, since it is an EOLed product, there will be no new updates other than the latest firmware. For detailed information on supported features by model, please refer to the Samsung Magician Installation Guide at
https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/.

I have the needed drivers sans the installer. Just installed on server 2019 for a 970 Pro. Tried to upload a zip with the three files…site wouldn’t let me. This after I was blacklisted as a bot…great site!

Looks like win-raid updated their driver offerings. This is from the latest Samsung NVMe posted there, under ‘pure’ i think it is?

I appreciate the links!
I’m running Win2019 64 Std. on a 970 EVO (not pro..). Which driver? The one you checked in the img?
Thanks!

I believe so, as it is the latest/970 series driver.

I can’t get past the «the best driver is already installed» message. And when I try to install from the inf file, I get a message that the driver is not compatible.. I did download the 64 bit v3.1.0.1901 WHQL version.
When I right-clicked the inf file and clicked install, it appeared to install, I rebooted, but device manager says it’s still using the MS driver dated 2006.
Not sure what else to try…

Maybe try an earlier iteration, though with my setup there was no issue. You shouldn’t have to, but you may try turning off secure boot and using the BCDedit options re using unsigned drivers?
Edit; are you looking in device manager under ‘Storage controllers’ or ‘Disk drives’? Disk drives will always show the old MS driver, but under
Storage controllers
you should see the two default (‘Microsoft storage spaces’ and ‘Standard NVM express’ controllers). Chose the
Standard NVM express controller
and update it with the Samsung driver;
After the update you should see this immediately;
Reboot.

Thanks!
I suppose I did not know what I was doing… I do see the Samsung NVMe Controller listed under Storage controllers, so the driver did install.
I use Open Hardware Monitor (https://openhardwaremonitor.org) to monitor the temps of my hard drives, and it works fine under Win10. I like it because it can put a «gadget» on the desktop to make keeping track of the drive temp easy. But on Server2019, OHM sees the 970 EVO as a generic hard disk, and it cannot read the temperatures. That, plus the fact that «Drives will always show the old MS driver» was what led me to believe the Samsung driver was not installing.
Again, thanks for your time.

Which driver is used for Server 2016 for a RAID setup?
How will you be creating/configuring RAID?
-
#33
NVM I was able to setup RAID thru windows 10. Can’t do it thru Server 2016
Storage Spaces didn’t work?

I came across a method that does not involve running Wix just in case you’re not comfortable w/ that. Additionally I experienced that extracted MSI’s won’t run 2nd time on Windows server, in case you decide to uninstall them then re-install while testing performance between released versions.
Here’re the steps:
— Install the SSD into a Win 10 machine
— Then install Samsung’s drivers, reboot.
— Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
— Arrange folders by date, the folder you want will be named similarly to «C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\secnvme.inf_amd64_b85d12e8825d30fc» perhaps the GUID part will be different.
— Grab the driver files inside the folder, then manually update to these drivers in Windows Server machine via Device Manager.

AVP thanks for the tip! Seems like Samsung NVMe Controller is now installed in the Device Manager. But does the Samsung Magician work? I can’t run it… Tried different versions — no luck…
UPD: Samsung_Magician_Installer_6.1.0.zip works flawlessly! (Except the fact he tells that new version available )
