    Personally, I'm not having any issues with my brand spanking new 960 EVO(installed last Friday), and the firmware updated yesterday.

    Hi,

    For now, if the Samsung Magician is triggering you to update the firmware, just don't.
    Do people actually install Magician on a Samsung NVMe drive ??

    Thank for the heads up @Cliff S.

    Cheers,

    Hi,
    Not anymore magician for me not since it was said to cause usb issues.
    Once I used it to update the firmware but that was it.
    Now I don't even do that.

    I just took a look, and it looks like they already pulled the firmware updates from their download page:

    Since I have the new one, I downloaded the changed one, just for safe keeping, if I start to have bugs.
    Being it's PCIe or sata, depending on how one has set their system up, plus it might depend on the CPU generation and chipset, that is causing the problem. I'm currently on 6700K Z170 chipset and haven't noticed anything different.... yet.

    The 960 EVO and PRO FW's don't have ISOs yet. I called and asked and support said they've only been available via Magician and ISOs will be released at a later time.

    I've not experienced any issues with my 960 pro, so I wonder if I should keep the firmware.

    I do. But then again I've got 4 Samsung SSD drives in my system....

    Samsung 950 Pro (512gig) - OS drive
    Samsung 850 Pro (512 gig) - Photo drive
    Samsung 850 EVO (1TB) - Backup drive
    Samsung 850 EVO (2TB) - Games / Data drive.

    Anyway I don't find a problem with Magician, but that's me.
