Samsung Software Software For The

There is a disk that comes with the SSD and includes the Samsung Magician software for the SSD to keep the firmware of the SSD up to date.

You dont need it in Mac because its not compatible, but it would be useful to upgrade the SSD firmware easily.

If you want to upgrade the SSD firmware, you have to download the ISO, burn it into a DVD or USB drive and start up your Mac from it.

You will be able to see more information about the SSD, including the firmware.

Cant update the firmware for the samsung 830 ssd despite having just paid 130 pounds what a joke.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem I had been looking at Samsung 840s but this might disuade me.

They will email me when that firmware update tool is released.

My sytuation: iMac early 2008 with Samsung EVO 250Gb SSD and HD Caddy with a 750Gb HDD in place of the Super drive and the superdrive mounted in a external USB housing.

Works like a charm but I really would like to update the Firmware and be able to update it in the future.

I tried everything from running Windows on the Mac using VMWare and using Magician to update the firmware, doesnt work, Install Windows on a external USB HDD and trying to do it that way, doesnt work.

The only solution right now is to remove the SSD, mount it in a Windows machine, update the firmware and build it back in the iMac.

I will give Samsung some time to supply the new and working update tool before I take the iMac apart.

No ill effects. BTW.no way to run.exe files directly on a Mac.

Top upgrade the firmware: Download the Firmware from your respective Samsung Support site.

Burn it to disc. Restart your MacBook (make sure the disc you burned is in the drive).

It warns you to backup your data during the process which I went back and did.

In my case the firmware upgrade didnt destroy any data on the drive.

When finished, I didnt know the command to restart so I used the power button to power off and back on.
