    guys...

    I just installed Samsung Magician software to check on my SSD health, performance and everything that the software can do but it did not detect my Samsung 128GB 830 series SSD as a Samsung branded SSD...

    what should I do?

    Weird. Is your SATA ports set to AHCI?

    before the authentication happened, the software need to detect my SSD first as a Samsung branded one... but it's doesn't

    I don't think it supports PM830 (or does is it something else?). Usually OEM Samsungs and not the most common retail units aren't supported by their SSD tool.

    samsung 830 problem

    Hello!

    I have problem with ssd samsung 830 (oem version) built in my laptop because I can't use full features of Samsung Magician Utility 4.0.
    I only want to use samsung magician utility, it has very nice interface,and really like it.I 'm having trouble to update firmware on my ssd. Present firmware on my notebook is CXM05H1Q, and I want to update it with official samsung firmware CXM03B1Q. Is it possible and how I manage to do that?I am aware that is not possible to update in windows by utility samsung because this utility only shows basic information of drive, it does not detect it samsung drive, it doesn't show info of whether is sata 1,2,3. I only manage to run the test of writing/reading speed,iops etc...
    Is there any chance I could use Samsung Magician utility with full options available?
    In attachment I send screenshot of drive summary of ssd.

    Is there any way someone could suggest me somekind of solution to solve this problem. Is firmware update problem or?

    Best regards,

    Hai Skare...

    you can update new firmware for the SSD but without using Samsung Magician utility. I noticed that only Samsung non-oem SSD can be detected using Samsung Magician software.

    about the sata interface you can check it inside your bios

    I have search in Samsung website, there's is no Samsung 830 series being placed as their product. They only provide support for their retail product. I strongly advised you to search for new firmware update from your notebook manufacturer site. If they have it, then you can update it. About updating new firmware, you can access it here http://www.storagereview.com/how_upgrade_ssd_firmware
    Some manufacture change a bit the software or firmware to run better/compatible with their system.

    Like my SSD now, I have no idea how to upgrade it to the new firmware. Anyway, I have no issues while using the SSD till now.
