You can google "issues after cloning" to see the millions of bad things that happen. No offense but WD SSDs are regarded rather poorly I believe so I'm not exactly inclined to take their word alone on the issue. Then why does Samsung make a cloning program specifically for their SSDs if cloning to or from them is so bad? It's a pity that there's no simple and tested way to revert the firmware and prove this.Do you have a source for this assertion that it causes OS glitches often? So, I admit that 4B6QCXP7 might be as good as 2B6QCXP7, after all.

(I don't want to upgrade to 1803 now, cause it's still not officially approved by out IT.) Maybe it's even simply newer Windows build. It's cool that you do not see any significant performance penalty (if any). And those Meltdown/Spectre thing happened about the same time. To my shame, I've not performed any tests explicitly just-before and just-after firmware update. Maybe it depends on mobo and bios settings used or manufacturer production lines. It looks tests finish before temps get that high, and 5sec pause between them allow SSD to cool down a bit, but I'm not sure. Maybe there's also some thermal throttling here. This way all non-smoothness is quite visible. That's just a visual assessment - I've scrolled a rather long document in notepad++, up and down, by holding an arrow key. Otherwise, I get only about the same number of ~0.5s hangs.

I've noticed, that if it is running - I get about 3-4 hangs per full CrystallDiskMark run, up to 5-10s.
And there was no "hangs", AFAIR.įinally, I've tested each driver with and without Resource Monitor & Task Manager running. Old firmware was 4x (and even ~8x) faster in some tests. It looks like newer Samsung driver is a tiny bit (~10%) faster. (You might have noticed that this one uses 8GB file instead of 32GB, but that doesn't matter much - I've just did one test with 8GB file again - the difference is below 3%.) Maybe it's also a good idea to run the "Secure Erase", and run test again.

But only after my PC would finish all the ongoing computations. So, maybe, after all, I would just keep firmware "as : SSD usage proved to be not that high, as in synthetics. Now, after a couple of days with the new firmware, I'd say that the issue is probably almost invisible during my normal daily usage.

Perhaps, any Samsung-ssd-firmware-updater-iso could be "modified" like that? Interesting chance.

I've recently updated my 960Pro firmware from 2B6QCXP7 to 4B6QCXP7.
