Samsung Magician goes from v4.6 to v4.4! Why?

[soewhaty]

Some time ago I downloaded Magician v4.6 from here:

http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/downloads.html

which at that time was the latest version. You will also find yourselves redirected to the same link by opening Magician and going to the 'Magician Info' button found at the bottom of the app, and then clicking on the 'Download S/W and Manual' button.

Now, all of a sudden, when I check the same page, I see that they've listed v4.4 as the latest version. What gives? Even farther back in time I did indeed use v4.4 (downloadable back then from the above-mentioned site), but then, as logic dictates, version 4.5 came out and after it 4.6. So from 4.6 being the latest one, we now see that v4.4 is the latest one. Doubt it has anything to do with my location, but just for the record I find myself in Europe. Have a look at what version it shows you guys as latest and pls share with me why they are going reverse, not forwards ... makes little sense, if any at all. Anything to do with the big fail of the firmware upgrade pushed from within Magician? Maybe ... share your thoughts. Cheers!

I don't get it! First off, why do we need 2 separate sites ...??? And secondly, why does my Magician v4.6 have a 'Magician Info' button at the bottom, which has a 'Download S/W and Manual' button, which leads to a site, showing v4.4 is the latest? How does that make any sense from Samsung?

That's an old site link i think. That link also shows the old EVO FW EXT0BB6Q.

I always use www.samsung.com/samsungssd, which becomes http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/global/html/support/downloads.html, which still shows 4.6 and the new EVO FW EXT0DB6Q.

Well ... I dont see how back in the days I clicked the same button on my Magician software and it led me back then to a page, allowing me to download version after version, reaching my current version 4.6. I can clearly remember that I went from 4.4 to 4.5 to 4.6 by doing the exact same thing. Clicking the above-mentioned button in Magician. And now, all of a sudden, clicking the very same button which led me to v4.6, I am presented a site showing me v4.4 as latest. weird ...

Never mind ... I guess u r right. Just an old site.

Also, the copyright on the page showing 4.4 says 2014 and the one that shows 4.6 shows 2015.
