-
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.

FAQs
What is Magician Software?
Samsung Magician is designed to help users easily manage their Samsung SSD(s) and conveniently update the firmware as well as optimize their SSD(s) for performance and reliability.
Samsung Magician software is developed and distributed exclusively for owners of Samsung SSDs (Solid State Drives).
In addition, Samsung Magician provides different features depending on the Samsung SSD model(s) in use, such as System Compatibility, Performance Benchmark, Performance Optimization, Over Provisioning, Secure Erase, and Data Security.
These features help users to maximize the performance and lifetime of their SSD(s).
* The supported features will vary for SSDs from other manufacturers as well as with Samsung OEM SSDs, which were pre-installed in client systems.
For more information about Magician, such as the system requirements and driver support, please refer to Magician Software Installation Guide at
https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/.
What should I do if I cannot install Samsung Magician?
1.Please uninstall the previous version of Samsung Magician.
‘Uninstall Samsung Magician’, or go to Control Panel — Programs and Features — Uninstall or change a program, and select Uninstall
2.Delete the folder where the previous version of Magician was installed.
default path : C:\Program Files(x86)\Samsung\Samsung Magician(64bit) or C:\Program Files\Samsung\Samsung Magician(32bit)
3.Delete the registry of the previous version of Magician.
Run — Enter regedit — Computer — HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Samsung Magician, for 64bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Samsung Magician
4.Reinstall Magician.
Does Magician have any limitations?
1.Magician is designed specifically for Samsung-branded SSDs. SSD-specific features like Firmware Update, Disk Health Status, Secure Erase, and Total Bytes Written are not supported for non-Samsung SSDs.
2.Magician does not work with SSDs connected via the SCSI controller interface.
3.Only MBR and GPT partition types are supported. Magician may not work with other partition types.
4.Magician will not work on SSDs that are locked with a user password.
5.The user may need to manually refresh the disk list in System Information for Magician to accurately reflect all connected/removed disks.
6.Benchmarking results are for a Queue Depth of 32.
7.It may be necessary to manually refresh the disk list in System Information before performing benchmarking or performance optimization on a newly attached disk.
8.The Performance Optimization feature relies on the ATA PASS THROUGH feature to pass the TRIM command to the SSD. This feature may be disabled by Windows XP/2003 if your SSD is less than 137GB in size. Microsoft provides a hot fix for this issue at https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com.
9.Secure Erase is not supported for Windows 8 and 8.1 systems.
10. Performance Optimization supports only the NTFS file system.
11. Over Provisioning may fail, even though enough free space is available, if your system suffers from cluster misalignment.
12. Benchmarking may not work with some removable storage devices.
13. If the User cannot span or shrink volume size through disk management of the OS administration tool, it is possible not to work Dynamic over-provisioning properly.
14. When the IRST driver is enabled / Installed in the system. Then enabling of Write cache buffer/flushing in SSD may fail (OS Optimization).
* Also, when a specific or latest IRST driver (IRST 12.6.0.1033, 12.8.10.1005) is installed, the authentication function may not work correctly. In this case, rollback to the older version.
15. RAID on the mode in SATA configuration is not supported by Samsung magician and the DOS application.
16. PC will be shut down automatically after the firmware update (Magician counts down 20 seconds before shutdown)
17. Security mode(Class 0, TCG/Opal or Encrypted Drive) must be disabled(unlocked) before removing and installing onto another PC.
18. Firmware Update may fail on Samsung brand SSDs connected to AMD Controller. Please retry using the default data ahci controller(Microsoft drivers)
19. Performance Benchmark may get timed-out on Asmedia controllers if the driver does not handle multi thread operations (IOs)”
20. Always use the latest storage drivers. If a user is using any custom storage driver, then Magician may not function properly
21. Magician will only retain the power option that was tuned before installing Magician. If a user changes the power option after installation, Magician cannot retain that.
For more details, please refer to the Magician installation guide.

What is firmware? How do I update my SSD firmware?
Firmware is a tiny software program stored in a semiconductor chip, such as a NAND chip.
It includes the software code and commands necessary for operating a device.
Firmware is designed to be updated via software updates so that manufacturers can improve performance and quality of the hardware.
Samsung SSD’s Firmware can be updated via the Samsung SSD Magician software.
A system reboot is required for the new firmware update to be reflected on the drive.
Magician can be downloaded from the Samsung website at https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/.
How do I check my SSD firmware?
You can check your firmware through the ‘Drive Details’ feature in the Magician Software. If there is new firmware available, an ‘Updated version is available» notice will appear next to the firmware name or you can check through the ‘Update’ button in the software.
SSD Samsung Magician does not detect my SSD. What should I do?
Once you connect the new storage device, it is necessary to refresh Samsung Magician manually or reboot the PC.
If you have a Samsung-branded SSD, confirm whether or not the SSD is detected by the Windows device manager.
Your SSD should be detected as either an IDE or an AHCI device. If it is not, installing the standard AHCI controller driver for Microsoft Windows may fix your problem.
Some old AMD chipsets and AMD drivers are not supported by Samsung Magician.
Please check the ‘System Compatibility’ tab for more information.
If the SSD is connected to a RAID/SCSI storage device controller, the program may fail to detect the SSD properly.
If this is the case, please install the MS default drivers which are automatically installed with Microsoft operating system installation.
Why is the actual capacity of SSD less than the advertised capacity?
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. In order to make it easier for consumers to calculate, Samsung manufactures drive capacity based on the assumption that 1 GB is equal to 1,000 Megabytes (MB) not to 1,024 MB. When estimating a capacity, the OS calculates based up on 1,024 MB, resulting in the discrepancy between the reported capacity versus the actual capacity.
When I measured my device’s performance using Samsung Magician, it is slower than the specification. What should I do?
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 whether both the NVMe Interface and PCIe® 3.0 x 4 / PCIe® 4.0 x 4 Lane are supported and correctly connected. You can check this via the Interface menu on the Magician Home screen.
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.
Why is N/A displayed on Drive Health?
Drive Health and total usage information are only available for SSDs and will depend on which S.M.A.R.T. attributes your SSD supports. If S.M.A.R.T. is not supported, it is displayed as N/A.
