I check TRIM with this on every single drive I...

    If the drives comes from a notebook, the manufacturer of the notebook would be the proper partner to talk to, not the SSD manufacturer.

    Samsung Magician 4.0 Bootable Secure Erase Utility...

    By the way, the Secure Erase Utility does not work out of the box with NVidia Graphic Cards. You need to use internal Intel or AMD. Only then the display is properly readable. With NVidia you need the SEGUI0-Workaround.

    Samsung Magician 4.0 Bootable Secure Erase Utility...

    Read what i wrote on your other thread, nobody can help you, except samsung support: "If it is hardware encrypted you need to reset the PSID on the Drive to use it again. Without this step there is no other way to use it again. You can revert PSID if you have the proper tool from the...

    Ssd forgotten user pass

    If it is hardware encrypted you need to reset the PSID on the Drive to use it again. Without this step there is no other way to use it again. You can revert PSID if you have the proper tool from the manufacturer. Or the manufacturer can do it for you, so you have to contact Support either way...

    OCZ RD400A solid upgrade?

    Dont expect boot time speedups. M.2 controllers need more time to be initialized than SATA controllers. But after the boot is will be faster than a decent SATA drive. If the SSD is the bottleneck of your conversions, you may see a boost, I can't tell for sure, sorry.

    Guys, I understand that all of you want to have your "issues" sorted out, but just running a tool and post the result is not going to prove anything. Include your hardware Specs: CPU: Mainboard: SATA-Connector used: SATA driver: Is SSD OS drive: j/n Is antivirus (also Win10 builtin) disabled...

    Crucial MX100 "lost" the security features?

    eDrive set to "enabled" does not mean you are actively using it. You have to enable it before a OS install and after that use bitlocker to really use it an set a key/password. And it does not matter if you have a TPM (not TPM Module, the M stands for Module) or if you have a BIOS option for it...

    Is this wear on Samsung SSD excessive?

    But note that this value does not decrease or reset, it stays for a lifetime. If the problem is still present, the value will increase. If it's not increasing, there is no problem =)

    Windows 10 to SSD.

    And THIS is what you should not do! Windows tends to put the Master Boot Record on "any available" drive. If it puts the MBR on your HDD and you will ever remove it, you have to rebuild the MBR on the SSD in order to be able to boot from the SSD without the HDD installed/connected. There is a...

    Samsung 850 Pro SSD is this normal ?

    I don't recommend anyof these so calles optimizations. Not every setting of these optimizations really affect your performance. Some are potentially harmful/dangerous or can lead to errors (like disabling pagefile). https://www.dropbox.com/s/ia4pdcizkposuai/850IOPS.PNG?dl=0 This is my 850...

    Slow write speeds but normal read speeds (SAMSUNG 850 EVO)

    Boot time is mostly influenced by hardware initializings, the more devices you have, the longer it takes. POST time can be found in Task Manager in Autostart Tab. Please check AS SSD and Crystal Disk Info and post a Screenshot of both. http://www.alex-is.de/PHP/fusion/downloads.php?download_id=9...

    new 850pro firmware update possible without magician ?

    You can update almost every Samsung SSD Firmware via ISO, ok you need a bootable DOS stick, but you can create one under linux, too. http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools.html Only 840 Evo had one firmware that was only available via magician.

    Recent SSD's and heat problems

    The M.2 form factor doesn't allow any extension, e.g. a heatsink. An PCIe adapter card is one of the few situations where you have room for a heatsink. If you try to put this M.2 in a modern ultrabook, you will instantly see, why there is no room for any extra stuff.

    I have a fully encrypted Notebook, using BitLocker with an SED (Samsung 850 PRO). I can assure, that Windows 10 had no problems with BitLocker. I unlocked (paused) the encryption, upgraded from 8.1 to 10. After that I reenabled (resumed) BitLocker. Worked fine! But you have a slightly different...

    SSD doesn't show up after secure erase

    If it is showing up with a USB adapter then create a new partition table, use MBR/dos. You can do this with parted magic. Then please check, what size the drive is showing and if you can create a NTFS filesystem.

    enabling trim for samsung 840 EVO 500gb using win 7
