    I downloaded and installed new version 4.9.6 of Samsung Magician from the official Samsung site several hours ago across my Samsung SSD home PCs, but I now notice the site has been changed back to v4.9.5... did anyone else install it? Has it been pulled for a reason?

    Would have posted a few links but can't as i'm new.

    I only checked yesterday and it was .4.95 , not seen the 46 version you mention so if it has been pulled i missed it . If i was you i would revert back just to be sure .

    I have learnt it's not always best to be the first to try new versions of software or drivers .

    i'll keep on eye on the website and see if 4.6 pops back up , it might just be for a new drive they have coming out maybe .

    Thanks for the reply.

    I did read the changelog in the installation notes at the time and whilst I don't remember the precise words, it wasn't to support anything new, there were two fixes for existing devices.

    I have a screen shot of Magician v4.9.6's about screen. I wish so much that I saved the install guide/changelog PDF. I would have posted the imgur link of the screen shot but I am a new user so the forum prevents me from posting any links yet.

    And yes, I do have the Magician v4.9.6 install file.

    Magician 496 now on the Samsung site.

    Magician version 4.9.6 features a number of improvements over version 4.9.5:

    - Improved stability with some SSD models
    - Minor bug fixes

    I never install a pulled version or download it from a different site.

    I always wait till its back on the download site.

    And when they don't pull their updates they have limited the amount of downloads...

    Consumer install base is their QA Team; reason for the limited downloads.

    Cannot imagine, this day and age, their servers could not handle the bandwidth. If this just amounts to a cost saving tactic, they could also try to buy a couple pallets of paperclips, staples, and post-it notes. Save a lot more money by outsourcing QA. If nothing serious pops up in the first week, then good to go. Otherwise, they only have to offer a remedy to a smaller percentage of their total install base. Total risk exposure is mitigated to some degree by limiting downloads.

    If this means I messed up, then I messed up; not perfect. Just like to think it is a shame no one can be as perfect as me.
