Samsung has stopped providing a Linux version of the ‘Magician’ for Consumer SSDs. The newer v2.0 only works with Enterprise PM863 and SM863 Series. So this is the older version v1.0. It should still be working with most Consumer SSDs but be aware that this is not the latest updated version of this software! For 983 ZET, 983 DCT, 883 DCT and 860 DCT (and potentially other models) you may try this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/samsung-ssd-dc-toolkit/

Hello there! I was able to update my older 840 EVO, but it didn’t recognized the 850 EVO series. I think this is the first version which was released to the public.

Samsung(R) SSD Magician DC Version 1.0

I have another two versions, which I’d like to publish in AUR, but the naming convention is so diverse for the current package and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/samsung-ssd-dc-toolkit/. Would you mind weather we can we change and agree on a naming convention to make it easier for the community? Really looking forward to you answer

For those of you using alternative downloaders (like aria2) having trouble getting the sources to work, here is a patch that tells Dropbox to provide a direct download.

@sudhanshu502 @inox I’m creating a new package samsung-ssd-dc-toolkit using the source you suggest. Officially it supports 983 ZET, 983 DCT, 883 DCT and 860 DCT. Not so sure about other models . 😉

Thanks inox. It does work for me. Output of:

Dear oberon2007, could you take a look at that static binary (3 years newer than yours), that supports bunch of other drives 🙂

Get it with wget, chmod +x, run as root.

Does not work for me.

I guess the only workaround now is to have a copy of Windows on your machine 🙁

@steadybright , I got confused. The situation is as described in the pinned comment. Samsung has discontinued Linux support for consumer models and there are no updates. So I’m afraid we cannot do much there.

steadybright commented on 2017-11-27 01:21

This version still fails to recognize the Samsung 840. (See details in my 2017-07-12 comment below. The results are identical to the earlier version of this package)

oberon2007 commented on 2017-11-25 23:58

Updated to v2.0
Please try again with the new version @Pietro_Pizzi !

Pietro_Pizzi commented on 2017-11-25 22:01

My two 850 EVO and one 960 EVO don’t get recognized.

Samsung Magician на Ubuntu 14.04

Я заменил жесткий диск моего ноутбука на Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB и установил Ubuntu 14.04. Я знаю, что программное обеспечение Samsung Magician значительно улучшает производительность SSD, но не смог найти способ его установки в Ubuntu. Кто-нибудь был в состоянии или знает, как это сделать?

Установка Samsung Magican на Linux

Есть нечто, называемое samsung magician dc, которое вы можете установить в Linux. Его можно скачать по этой ссылке. Руководство можно найти в этом раскрывающемся списке. Извлеките tarball из первой ссылки и откройте получившуюся папку. Там будет две директории, 64-битная и 32-битная. Откройте тот, который соответствует вашей операционной системе. Исполняемый файл samsung magician находится в этой папке. Файл представляет собой простой двоичный файл, поэтому сделайте его исполняемым и запустите его.

Использование Samsung Magician в Linux

Использование samsung magician описано в руководстве. Также некоторую информацию о том, как использовать программное обеспечение, можно получить у sudo ./magician —help , Одна вещь, которую нужно знать, это то, что вам всегда нужно бежать magician как суперпользователь. Например, чтобы вывести список дисков Samsung, подключенных к вашей системе, вы должны использовать команду
sudo ./magician -L В руководстве описано еще много операций.

Установка прошивки

Руководство Samsung magician dc неясно, как установить прошивку (в частности, как выложить каталог, содержащий прошивку). Чтобы увидеть, как установить прошивку, смотрите этот ответ.

Обновление производительности

У 840 evo есть обновление производительности, которое (я думаю) не зависит от прошивки и не может быть сделано с помощью samsung magician dc. Я думаю, что это обновление производительности было первоначальной целью вашего вопроса, поэтому я рассмотрю его. Обновление производительности можно найти здесь. Я не сделал это обновление, но руководство по установке есть.
