Samsung SSD 850 PRO 128GB and performance test in Magician 5.2 - 5.2.1

[Lex_1]

Good afternoon. I have a Samsung SSD 850 PRO 128GB with EXM04B6Q.
The latest updates of Magician, in versions 5.2 and 5.2.1, the SSD performance test shows a decrease in SSD performance.
Prior to the release of Magician version 5.2, this performance decline did not occur.
What happens with the Samsung SSD 850 PRO 128GB? Why does the Magician fall in performance?
Other SSD status parameters do not show problems with the SSD.

Today installed Magician 4.5
Performance tests such as the new SSD.
Samsung, what happens to Magician 5.1 \ 5.2 \ 5.2.1? Why do performance tests in these versions show poor results?

Hi userYzaF6qdKAo,

If you update your Samsung Magician, you must in most cases also reinstall or update your motherboard's SATA drivers if you are seeing low performance, have you also tried a third party benchmarking tool? If so, what are your results?

I did not try third-party programs. Reinstalling the SATA driver does not affect the test results.
But if I return the old version of Magician 5.1, it will show the previous high results of the SSD performance test.

Hello userYzaF6qdKAo,

What is the current version of your SATA driver? What kind of system or motherboard are you using? As mentioned previously, different versions of Samsung Magician may interact differently with different SATA drivers. SATA drivers have a very big impact on performance.

Also, try a third party benchmark tool as well and tell us your results, so that we may continue troubleshooting.

I agree.
