Samsung 950 Pro M.2 and rapid mode
Hi guys,
finally made the leap from Win 7 to Win 10 and built a new machine as per my signature.
It's working quite nicely apart from one minor wrinkle with the Samsung 950 pro ssd and rapid mode.
While the 950 pro is fast and bench marks where it should be I can't enable rapid mode for it with Samsung magician version 4.9.7
I have the samsung nvme driver v1.1 installed - or at least I think but cannot see it in device manager properties for the 950 pro. Rather it says it's using the Micrsoft driver.
When I run magician and select the 950 pro it shows ok and says I'm using NVME controller version 1.4.7.17 and a PCIe slot - so everything looks good there.
Thing is when I select rapid mode it only shows the 850 evo and no sign of the 950 pro.
Rapid mode works great on the 850 evo and actually bench marks faster than the 950 pro.
I read elsewhere that rapid mode makes little difference in the real world - so perhaps I shouldn't worry ?
Hope this all makes sense - any ideas ?
Regards Tim
