Hi

On Windows 10 I'm running the latest Samsung Magician on a 970 Samsung 1TB EVO plus NvME, 2 x Samsung EVO 850 hard drives and a 512GB Dell NvME.

It seems that overprovisioning often isn't working via Magican, often it comes up "not supported".

Can I just partition it so that the last 10% is empty away from Magician?
Do I need to configure anything?
Is there any benefit in doing this with the Dell NvME?

Thanks...
 
Solution
You're trying to overprovision the Dell drive with Magician? Yeah, I'm not surprised that doesn't work.

You don't need to configure anything. Just don't fill up any of your SSDs over roughly 75% and you'll be fine.
