Berry, I have installed Samsung 970 evo plus ssd on my dell laptop. And install the magician software as you did. But when I click the overprovisioning tab it gives me two options, 1. Clear OP (it was set defalut ) 2. Set OP my question is that, Did the software do some with my ssd drive with Clear OP. In fact what is that 'clear OP'.

Building my new comp with the 990 Pro. Noticed this program and came here. Very interesting information. Now I'll know how to verify the health of the SSD.

From some reason the ssd I had with my prebuilt won’t transfer over all my files that also has my windows 10 os on it to my Samsung nvme drive is it because the first one isn’t Samsung too

Hi..I just bought this Samsung 870 EVO 256Gb and notice in Samsung Magician that there is "Full Performance Mode" which will enable Rapid Status and Over Provisioning..My questions are : 1. should I use this "Full Performance Mode"?I only use this SSD for windows & progs, all my games are stored in HDD & NVME.. 2. If I don't use the "full performance mode", will the DRAM Cache still functional? Thank you..

I'm guessing the default is 10% over provisioning always? I have a 860 evo 500 gb and my performance optimizations is different says full performance mode, standard mode and power saving mode. I wish I remembered what it was default on, I believe it was on power saving mode cause it had OP on. I'm only bringing this up cause I turned it off to standard and was getting stuttering in all my games for the longest time like pretty bad too. I started trying to fix everything the ram, the cpu cooler, the bios updates. Just so many things but I finally got to the SSD and soon as I enabled OP from a little research all my stutters went away now. I played for like 3-4 hours no stutters today, that is just crazy to me glad I don't have to deal with that anymore though.

Hi. Please, could tell me how much is the difference between data written after going thought magician test? I got 970 evo plus 250 gb and after one test it shows 200 gb written data, I made 4 times test and now I got almost 1 tb written data. Magician 7.01, nvme 3.3 driver. Interesting thing is that crystal disc mark test costs only 5 gb of data

@GlennBerrySQL

2 жыл бұрын

I don't have an exact answer to your question. It would depend on how large the test file was and how many test runs were done during each test. I have a hard time believing one test would write 200 GB of data, but maybe you are doing nine test runs with the largest test file size. If you are worried about writing too much data (which will "wear out" the NAND more quickly) you should do fewer runs with a smaller test file. The 250GB 970 EVO Plus has a warranty of 150 TBW. semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/internal-ssd/970evoplus/

Hey, I just got a 970 Evo Plus, after putting it in the m.2 slot, do I have to first go to the Samsung website and download the driver or do I need to install Magician first?

Your 970 EVO Plus drive will work with the stock Microsoft NVMe driver from Windows 10, but it will be slightly faster with the Samsung NVMe driver (Version 3.3). You should download and install that Samsung NVMe driver. www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ That has nothing to do with Samsung Magician. Magician will show which NVMe driver that the SSD is using though. Magician will work whether or not you have the Samsung NVMe driver installed.

It was probably less than year old when the video was made. Writing 1TB in a month is really not that much. Personally, I would not worry about it at all. If you are worried about it, you can also use CrystalDiskInfo to see the SMART information about what percentage of writes you have left. I would bet it still shows 100%, meaning it has not even gone down to 99% yet.

@@PlanetIscandar SSD overprovisioning is not going to make applications open faster. It can help write performance a little, and help durability, but it does not help SSD read performance. Even a low-end SATA SSD should be significantly faster to open an application than any magnetic hard drive. You probably have something else going on. www.minitool.com/partition-disk/ssd-over-provisioning.html

All these features are really great and all. But why aren't you talking about reviewing and retrieving actual files? No one talks about this.....ever!

Well, your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this video, which is the Samsung Magician utility for Samsung SSDs.

Intonations are extra extra dry. Otherwise 👍 video

Samsung Magician doesn't do data migration. That is not what the tool is designed or used for. Samsung has a completely separate tool for Data Migration. semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/

This is one of the most bloated pieces of crap I have ever seen on windows. samsung should be ashamed

You should talk to Samsung about that.

Samsung does not support consumers! There is no ssd MZ7TE512HMHP-00004 support in the Magician application!

They support retail versions of their SSDs, not OEM versions.
