Links point to 960 Pro?

First link points to web page where the new 960EVO firmware is.
They have not posted the 960PRO yet.

The second link was posted to draw attention to the overall issue. I can remove it if you think it is more appropriate.(reply needed)
Samsung has also not posted the newer 850EVO firmware, only version 2 ((EMT02B6Q)) even though newer production drives come with version 3 ((EMT03B6Q)).

EVO or PRO? EVO was just put up. If you are talking about the botched PRO version that was recalled, you are not current on the issue.

Also, looks like no Firmware update yet on the 960 fiasco.

Yep as of today no sign of Samsung trying to fix this at all. Maybe Samsung is trying to sweep this under the rug.

@Raevenlord Any chance of you getting a news update for us affected 960 Pro owners on the negligence Samsung is showing in resolving the issue?

Sounds like when I bought a 950 Pro way back when and couldn't use it at one workplace because they never delivered the encrypted drive support they promised was "coming soon after launch."

But we’re never getting a fix it’s a scandal!

All new version 3 firmware for 960's, PRO and EVO Firmware that was posted on the Samsung website was taken down after complaints (first post, second link). The 960EVO was just re-released on the website. If you received your update by using Samsung Magician 5.2 check the version numbers.

Testing may be completed on the EVO, I assume so.
I am not in charge of Samsung's website and have no control over your Magician software.
Either, you are looking for an argument or you are not reading carefully.

This download limiting by Samsung is the most amateur thing I've seen in decades. You can't be worlds largest SSD maker and then offer what, 50GB of transfers a day (which goes by in seconds I reckon) for a software to support sold devices?

If you're so god damn cheap, use Bittorrent or something...

That's why I said "guinea pigs needed". Maybe they want to test on the masses.

Teasing my dude calm down. Do you know if it is pushed via 5.2 though? Serious question I was under the impression firmware fixes were bundled?

EDIT:: I was on mobile you didnt even quote me my bad.

 

[FireFox]

check the version numbers.

Version number of what and where?

They do inform you that an update is available, they don't apply it automatically, you get a prompt.

Version number of what and where?

Read post title, the re-released firmware version number is listed there. Compare that with the version your using by opening Magician or using CrystalDiskInfo: https://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html

I thought you were quoting me, on my phone it looked like you double posted thats my bad. I wouldnt have said anything if I had seen the quote because im sure you know I was just fucking with you.

That means that the 3B7QCXE7 Firmware i got isn't valid?

It's all good, I have thick skin.

It may be valid. They pulled the original release when the complaints started. If they re-released with the same firmware number that indicates to me that they have vetted that firmware for prime time. ( I say "may be", because they have made mistakes in the past... 840EVO anyone.)

I don't really feel comfortable making too many question because it makes feel like i am a Troller, however i have a one more question, should i keep the 3B7QCXE7 i have or should i download it once again?

The Magician updater compares version numbers, being the same it will not update. If you use the USB flash method the result will be the same as that too compares version numbers.

I would say there is no need to worry at this point concerning 2 week old version... Unless you have experienced the same slow downs as posted concerning the PRO version.

 

[Ramo1203]

I also have 2 960 EVO, they have the latest firmware 3B7QCXE7. On the Samsung fourm they say:

***01/19/2018***
It is our top priority to finalize the firmware fix and expect to release the update during the week of January 29th

It's about the slowdowns with the 960 PRO but perhaps the EVO might also get a new firmware next week. (don't know if it is also affected by the slowdowns)

@Knoxx29
I look at the Samsung mini website 2 times a day since the 960Pro issue first surfaced.

I am also looking for the 850EVO update mentioned above.
"Samsung has also not posted the newer 850EVO firmware, only version 2 ((EMT02B6Q)) even though newer production drives come with version 3 ((EMT03B6Q))."

After looking this morning at the Samsung Forum site regarding the 960EVO, apparently some have experienced problems and the recommended fix is to do a secure wipe and full reinstall of OS.
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Memory-Storage/New-960-EVO-FW-3B7QCXE7-Available/td-p/213624

I'm guessing but... it could be that a new firmware may be released for the EVO when the PRO comes out.
The mini web site page is apparently not in tune with Magician, in terms of availability and roll-out, which leads to added frustration for all.

Hey, I was talking 950 pro edrive support, and there still isn't any.

And the timeframe people were stuck on bad firmware was still newsworthy.

Looks like im not updating for a while.
