Samsung 860 Evo SSD latest firmware?

IggyStooge · 9 Nov 2018 at 11:00

Hello,

Magician doesn't work on my system so I can't easily check for latest firmware. I tried finding it via google to no avail. I have version RVT02B6Q currently.

Can anyone tell me if this is the latest available firmware version please?

Thanks very much.

It installs and works but does not recognise the 860 Evo correctly so isn't much use really. I contacted Samsung and they suggested numerous things to get it to recognise the SSD but nothing worked. Fortunately I installed Magician on an older system and when I connect the SSD to that system it recognises OK. I was hoping not to have to take the SSD out of this PC just to check if I have the latest firmware.

I couldn't find it where you suggested. Can you let me know please if you find it?

I've just read that it should be under Hardware IDs in details but I don't see anything like the firmware version on the Evo 860. Won't this only tell me the version I have currently anyway? I need to know if it's the latest version.

I've tried on clean installs of windows with various versions of Magician as they've been released. I'm on an old system no doubt but Magician works on an even older system I've got.

I found the email from Samsung when I asked them for help. They said:

Please be informed that the model ID of your SSD is not correctly displayed.
Please refer to the display below:
- Correct model ID : Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
- Wrong model ID : SSD 850 EVO 250G (This is how it's identified on my system)

The Suggested:

Please attempt the following solutions:
1. update IRST/Asmedia/Marvell driver to latest version
2. uninstall IRST/Asmedia/Marvell driver and use MS windows standard driver
3. Mount SSD on other SATA port if possible
4. After changing SATA model from IDE to AHCI and re-install OS again, Mount SSD at other port.

Thanks for that ScottyBee. I need to update then. Mine isn't the M.2 version but I assume it will have the same firmware?

Thanks. I'll try that ToadeR.
