I originally posted this in this thread: Samsung 840 EVO read speed drops on old-written data in the drive
Hey guys,
I plugged in a 840 at work today to mess around with and Magician prompted me for a FW update.
The new FW is DXT0AB0Q
Lo and behold, Advanced Optimization now lets you run on the 840:
The only thing i can't currently test is whether, like the 840 EVO, it brings a new algorithm that immediately adjusts the voltages, since i don't have any 840s with old data. I'm setting one up now though and gonna do the FW update once i start seeing degradation and post my results. If anyone else has an 840 with old data, please put before and immediately after the FW update screenshots so we can see if it comes with a new algorithm as well.
