Hi,
I just got the SSD 980 and installed it as an OS drive with no problems. I installed the Samsung Magician and it flagged up the following:
Should I just ignore the Samsung Magician and uninstall it?
Thanks.

Hey there,
You should upgrade to the latest firmware. Have a look here: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/
You can find drivers and tools for your SSD, including the latest firmware version.

Thanks for the reply. The link you gave me has a FW update for the 980 Pro version, but not the 980, which is what I own. I'm assuming the FW is for the 980 Pro only (?)
Same thing for the Samsung NVMe driver, it states 980 Pro (?)

Mmmm, seems you are right. The driver for the simple SSD is missing from there. Not sure why and I can't seem to find anything online about it.
You could try to reach support and ask them if they can provide you a link or the firmware itself.

OK thanks. I looked at the NVMe driver and it doesn't actually support even the 980 Pro.
This driver supports Samsung NVMe™ SSD 970 PRO, 970 EVO, 970 EVO Plus, 960 PRO, 960 EVO and 950 PRO
Do Samsung read the forum and post?
