With the software showing that the firmware was up to date, the process was complete. With the system back up and running afterwards, we went back into Magician to confirm that the process was accomplished.
#HOW TO FORMAT SAMSUNG SSD 970 EVO UPDATE#
From that point, the Samsung SSD firmware update process took about 5 seconds. Users should make sure they have open documents and the like saved. Samsung again warns you, this time saying that the computer will need to shut down. With the SSD 850 PRO selected and data backed up, we clicked update. Samsung warns at the top of the screen to back up data. There, the dialogue box will indicate whether or not an update is available. With the Magician software open, you need to select the drive you want to update (which the software should automatically have done anyhow), and then click on firmware update. In this particular case, we’re updating a Samsung SSD 850 PRO 128GB. Sometimes, updates are destructive, but in those cases users will be warned. Errors and faults can happen that may render your data inaccessible. While a solid majority of firmware updates are non-destructive and thus won’t wipe your data with a reformat, the first step before performing any firmware update should still be to backup important data on your drive. Samsung also provides firmware update tools for those who prefer a bootable USB/CD option as well. While SSD firmware isn’t always easy to update, the Samsung Magician tool makes the task about as easy as it gets. Operating in-house also means Samsung can update their firmware faster and more often, in turn providing users with a reliable and stable experience. The results on the software side are evident Samsung’s Magician software package is one of the most robust in the industry, providing customers with an easy way to manage and optimize their SSD.
Samsung has an inherent advantage in the SSD space in that they own their own NAND and controller and build the SSD firmware and software in-house.
