Re: Samsung's firmware update was applied by Samsung's Magician software...automatically for some!
I have Samsung Magician installed (and running) to enable Rapid mode to improve the performance and reliability of my SSDs...and therein may lie the problem...a member of our group has found...
"Oficial FAQ on their [Samsung's] site sais it should be disabled but that information isn't easy to find and should be a warning in magician"
Whatever...Samsung software and firmware have destroyed my 3 week old SSD and that's unacceptable.
