Ive have a Samsung 950pro and Samsung 850evo on Asus Max VIII windows 10

Is there any speed advantages running the Samsung Software?

I prefer not to run extra bits of software if u can get away from it

The only Samsung software that would make any difference is 'RAPID' mode.
However, the consensus is that it's not worth bothering with: http://superuser.com/questions/7427...ble-rapid-mode-on-a-samsung-solid-state-drive

So, no, don't install Samsung software unless you want to do firmware update.

You could install it, then disable the auto-start. No harm in using it to check for firmware updates every few months.
