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.

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/.

Samsung Magician — программа для управления, тестирования, диагностики, получения технических сведений и устранения программных ошибок в твердотельных SSD-накопителях производства компании Samsung (некоторые функции программы могут применятся к жестким дискам и USB-накопителям любых производителей).
Это бесплатное программное обеспечение для операционных систем Windows 7, 8/8.1 и 10 (32-бит и 64-бит). Интерфейс приложения имеет неполный перевод на русский язык.
Программа Samsung Magician нужна, в первую очередь, для диагностики и обслуживания твердотельных накопителей (SSD-дисков) производства компании Samsung модельного ряда 470, 750, 830/840/850/860/870, 960/970/980, PSSD T1/T3/T5/T7/X5 Series. В большинстве случаев приложение используется для отслеживания текущего технического состояния и увеличения срока службы SSD-накопителей путем активации в системе и/или в прошивке самого устройства специально предназначенных для этого функций.
Отдельные модули утилиты Samsung Magician также могут работать с жесткими дисками (включая внешние USB-диски) и USB-Flash накопителями. К ним относятся функции чтения SMART-атрибутов (если таковые поддерживаются устройством) и тестирования их производительности (любые устройства).
Функции программы Samsung SSD Magician Tool
Samsung Magician — многофункциональная программа. Все доступные в ней функции разбиты на следующие категории:
Управление диском
Сюда входят подфункции, обеспечивающие поддержку работоспособности диска и повышения его производительности с помощью различных инструментов оптимизации:
- Тестирование скорости последовательного и случайного чтения/записи данных накопителей с журналированием результатов и возможностью их сравнения результатами, полученными в ходе предыдущих тестов.
- Быстрое и глубокое диагностическое сканирование диска с целью обнаружения и моментального исправления различных логических ошибок SSD-накопителя.
- Возможность выделения некоторого объема SSD-диска под функции выполнения планового обслуживания (TRIM и Garbage Collection), что обеспечивает существенное снижение нагрузки (количества операций чтения и записи) на устройство и, как следствие, увеличивает срок его службы.
- Активация режима RAPID, который предполагает использование в качестве хранилища для кэшированных данных оперативной памяти компьютера вместо памяти диска. Как и в предыдущем случае, данный режим позволяет снизить нагрузку на устройство, но занимает некоторый объем памяти компьютера.
Получение информации о диске
Посредством программы Samsung Magician пользователь сможет получить доступ к ключевым индикаторам, отображающим текущее техническое состояние SSD-накопителя:
- Просмотр модели, серийного номера и версии прошивки устройства.
- Получение точного объема информации (в байтах), когда-либо записанной на SSD-диск.
- Функция проверки подлинности SSD-диска позволяет быстро выяснить, является ли устройство оригинальной продукцией Samsung или подделкой.
- Отображение текущих значений S.M.A.R.T. атрибутов с возможностью их экспорта в файл.
- Возможность активации режима «Mini Mode», в котором пользователь может получать значения температуры и нагрузки на диск с интервалом обновления от 1 минуты в небольшом окне над системным треем.
Управление данными
К этой категории функций относятся:
- Возможность шифрования всех данных на диске, для чего используется функция «BitLocker» операционных систем Windows (доступна не во всех версиях Windows). Последующий доступ к зашифрованному диску будет возможен только при наличии у пользователя ключа расшифровки.
- Расшифровка ранее зашифрованного диска в случае утраты ключа. Данная функция удалит все данные на диске. Для ее работы потребуется ввод 32-значного ключа PSID, указанного на корпусе оригинальных SSD-накопителей Samsung.
- Безопасное удаление данных с диска без возможности их последующего восстановления при использовании каких-либо программ, специализирующихся на этом.
Отдельно отметим возможность обновления прошивки (встроенной управляющей микропрограммы) твердотельных накопителей Samsung. Функция работает в полностью автоматическом режиме. Производителем рекомендуется проверять доступность обновлений как можно чаще, т.к. новые версии прошивок содержат исправления, позволяющие увеличить производительность и срок службы SSD-накопителей.
