Just noticed they've updated the firmware to v.1.1. Also says not to use if you've used the v.1.0 as it doesn't work. Anyone with info about this?

Here are my results from Samsung magician should i run this to restore it to run faster? If so how long does it take I got 120gb evo.

The linux version was released today.. it worked for my laptop's 2 month old 240gb version:

Before:
Code: 
$ sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   14578 MB in  2.00 seconds = 7294.11 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 978 MB in  3.00 seconds = 325.70 MB/sec

After:

Code: 
$ sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   19778 MB in  2.00 seconds = 9898.08 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 1492 MB in  3.00 seconds = 496.89 MB/sec


However, it didn't seem to make any difference to my 9 month old 120gb version in my desktop.

Before:

Code: 
$sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   19572 MB in  2.00 seconds = 9792.57 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 616 MB in  3.23 seconds = 190.83 MB/sec

After:

Code: 
sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   20368 MB in  2.00 seconds = 10191.72 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 664 MB in  3.00 seconds = 220.97 MB/sec

While it's made a slight difference the performance isn't where it should be. Is it safe to run this tool more than once?
