    can't use it on my EVO 961, cause it's M.2/NVMe, but I do have Magician on an EVO 850, with 1809 booted on it. I do notice a big difference. Snappier in a lot of areas. Almost faster at certain tasks than the NVMe.

    I wonder what the technical reason is why its not available for nVMEs.

    Best guess is the Magician software is written for Sata controller, and an nVME is attached right to the system bus, not any controller. Already running fast as it can.

    I'd be interested to see 'real world' performance tests between the two. Boot up, Application loading, Transcoding, Editing operations etc.

    Well, a quick search turns up some useful articles:

    Samsung Rapid Mode? | Overclockers Forums

    ssd - Is it beneficial to enable Rapid Mode on a Samsung solid state drive? - Super User

    Negligible or no real world benefit. Possibly slower in some scenarios. Possible instability.
    I don't favour the additional services and low level drivers / filters as mentioned in post 2 so left Rapid Mode disabled.

    I've never felt any need to try it. Been running two 840 Pro SSD's for years and been perfectly happy with performance as is.

    With Rapid mode OFF I was moving files (photos/25MB each) to an EVO SSD with 80-90MB/s (card's reading limit)
    With Rapid mode ON I was moving files (photos/25MB each) to an EVO SSD with ~45MB/s

    So, with Rapid mode ON I had a 50% loss in writing speed

    I totally removed Samsung Magician 6.0. It is always on line and since I removed it Firefox is faster. Windows 10 can trim your SSD as good as Magician.

    I only run Magician when I want to check something and disable it from running at start up. I don't see anything from Magician in Autrouns apart from the startup file samsungmagician.exe which I disabled.

    I have two Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD SATA, one for C: OS and the other E: for applications.
    The E: has Rapid Mode enabled and C: Rapid Mode disabled as only one drive can have Rapid Mode enabled.
    First screenshot shows C: drive with Rapid Mode disabled.

    Second screenshot shows E: drive benchmarks with Rapid Mode enabled and disabled.

    Samsung Magician is not set to start when Windows starts, I only start it when needed.
