I expect you are right about being cautious on firmware updates. If the Magician software can access your SSD, then that confirms that it works on drives connected to a disk controller in RAID mode (as long as the SSD is not part of a RAID set). Thanks.

I only have the Intel disk controller on my motherboard. I'm in the exact same situation as you are. Once you put your controller in RAID mode to support a RAID configuration, all disks connected to the controller are in RAID mode as far as the controller is concerned, even if they aren't part...

A bit confusing terminology here. What you are saying is as long as I'm not running a multi-drive RAID SSD configuration (say RAID-0), my Intel controller in RAID mode will access a single SSD via AHCI. Correct? And the Magician software will see this single SSD on an Intel controller that's in...

That's what I was afriad of, and it a deal breaker for me. Too many other SSD's available that don't have this issue. Too bad, Samsung really should address accessing their SSD's on a disk controller in RAID mode. A very common configuration for many people. I mean, other SSDs like Intel and...

I see "Acceleration Mode" in the RST help file under "disk properties". I just checked my current disk drive properties in Intel RST, and "Acceleration Mode" is not listed. Perhaps "Acceleration Mode" is only available to an SSD? If that's all it takes to use Magician, that's not too bad. I...

Hmmm. That's very interesting. If the SSD isn't available to the Magician software while RST is running, that's a problem. When you say "disable acceleration", do you mean uninstall Intel RST?

I am considering the purchase of the Samsung 840 Pro, but I need to verify something regarding firmware updates using the Magician software. I have my motherboard Intel disk controller in RAID mode to support a RAID-1 disk drive configuration. I plan on connecting the Samsung 840 Pro to my...
