Save settings and exit the bios. System should boot to the windows installation disk. After installation is complete, restart and enter the bios again. Change the primary boot device to the Windows drive. Save settings and exit. Boot windows and install any necessary drivers Might be a good idea to download any network adapter drivers before doing any of this, and saving it to a USB or optical disk in case you need it.
Other drivers too if you wish. Windows doesn't always have the necessary drivers natively. Download or install Magician and update firmware. Install any desired applications. I would update if it does not already have the latest firmware. This can be done from within the Samsung Magician utility which will check automatically. Feb 1, 31 0 4, 6. I never heard of SSD firmware updates, js.
Must of the SSD come just ready out of the box. I mean, if you want to get the optimal settings I had problem with those SSD in particular and broke one for too much pressure will connecting to the power connector. I didn't even press it too hard, but those are pretty weak.
Just a friendly reminder. I don't want you to go through the same as I did, lol. Then you aren't very familiar with Samsung SSDs which have had multiple instances of needing firmware updates to correct performance issues. Compatibility and performance related issues are both reasons to update. They don't release firmware for no reason, so if there is an update it probably addresses something. As I said, it's built into the Samsung magician utility as well, so it's a simple process and can be performed from within Magician with a simple click.
I have two EVOs and have installed about thirty of them, and haven't noticed that the power or data connections are any weaker or different than on any other SSD on the market I've worked with, which is many of them.
I think you may have just been in Hulk mode. Reactions: MrSix Haha, maybe. Other than that instance, I didn't had any problem with those SSD. Okay thanks guys.
So should I update the firmware before or after I install windows on it? And what's the best way to do a fresh install? Plug the install disk in, format all the partitions and then delete them or unplug my HDD, install on SSD then format the other drive? I'm using my 1TB as mass storage. I'm really new to this stuff, sorry. You can't upgrade the firmware until and unless there is already an OS installed. If you have an OS on another drive, you can attach the EVO to the system, install Magician, upgrade the firmware, then shut down and install the OS on the target SSD BTW, just as a note of precaution, make sure you have ALL other drives disconnected from the system when you install to the SSD so there is no chance of having a problem with old boot partition conflicts after installation.
It really doesn't affect anything in that regard. What version of Windows will you be installing and what kind of installation media do you have? I will be using Windows 8. Is this correct?

Minimalist , Jan 23, I updated my Crucial M gb SSD and after the firmware update i had a bad sector There was none to start with the old firmware. Maybe the new firmware has a different way of detecting bad sectors or did the firmware use up part of the SSD? I dont know but it was annoying. Show Ignored Content.

No, create an account now. Performing a firmware update can be risky by itself even in the best of situations. For example, a power outage during a firmware update carries a very good possibility of ruining the drive. Very often, system or device driver issues cause symptoms that are incorrectly called "firmware problems.
