Question: Q: Samsung Magician Software Mac

I recently installed the Samsung 840 Pro in my MacBook Pro. There is a disk that comes with the SSD and includes the Samsung Magician software for the SSD to keep the firmware of the SSD up to date. It doesn’t look like it’s compatible with Mac. Is this software necessary?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Posted on Jul 20, 2013 1:55 PM

Samsung Magician Software is only compatible with Windows. You don’t need it in Mac because it’s not compatible, but it would be useful to upgrade the SSD firmware easily.

If you want to upgrade the SSD firmware, you have to download the ISO, burn it into a DVD or USB drive and start up your Mac from it. See the SSD firmware updates for Macs > http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/downloads.html

How do I know if I have the lattest firmware on my Samsung 840 Pro?

Jul 21, 2013 3:57 PM

Open System Information (in /Applications/Utilities), select SATA in the sidebar and choose the SSD. You will be able to see more information about the SSD, including the firmware

Jul 21, 2013 9:14 PM

Is it works for you ? because for me on my MBP (Mid2012) it doesn’t work !

The FreeDos system can not boot correctly.

Aug 7, 2013 9:34 AM

BUMP! Got the same problem on a mid 2012 macbook pro 13″. Can’t update the firmware for the samsung 830 ssd despite having just paid 130 pounds! what a joke.

Oct 15, 2013 5:42 PM

At present, no solution, the solution who gave me by the Samsung Support is to use a Windows PC.

Oct 16, 2013 2:59 AM

Hi there, looking to replace my failing hard drive (MBP mid 2012) with an SSD. Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem? I had been looking at Samsung 840’s but this might disuade me. Thanks in advance

May 27, 2014 11:07 AM

No news on my side

May 27, 2014 11:43 PM

I Wrote Samsung Support to complain and got the reply that they will put a better working update tool on their website very very soon. I received that answer today May 28 2014.

They will email me when that firmware update tool is released.

My sytuation: iMac early 2008 with Samsung EVO 250Gb SSD and HD Caddy with a 750Gb HDD in place of the Super drive and the superdrive mounted in a external USB housing.

Fusion Drive enabled.

Works like a charm but I really would like to update the Firmware and be able to update it in the future.

I tried everything from running Windows on the Mac using VMWare and using Magician to update the firmware, doesn’t work, Install Windows on a external USB HDD and trying to do it that way, doesn’t work.

The only solution right now is to remove the SSD, mount it in a Windows machine, update the firmware and build it back in the iMac.

I will give Samsung some time to supply the new and working update tool before I take the iMac apart.

Samsung ssd tool mac os

The Samsung Portable SSD Software can only run on the following OS versions or newer:

— Windows OS: Windows 7 or higher
— Mac OS: Mac OS 10.10 or higher

For more information, please contact the nearest Service Center, which can be found in the user manual and on Samsung.com minisite at (http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/support/cs.html ).

When my Windows PC goes into the Power Saving Mode or is powered off, the T7 Touch’s indicator turns on or remains off.

It is normal for an indicator to turn off when the host PC connected to enters the Power Saving Mode or is powered off. However, it may remain on depending on the USB charging settings of the BIOS in the PC.

Please refer to the indicator colors below:
— Connect power: LEDs all on
— Data Transfer: LEDs rotation
— Standby for security release (Fingerprint identification, Password): LEDs consecutive blinking
— Terminate connection: LEDs blinking once and lights off

I cannot copy files from the Windows OS to the T7 Touch.

Occasionally, if the power supply is removed while in use or the cable is unsafely unplugged, copying files to the T7 Touch may be restricted by the Windows OS when you reconnect it. This is a restriction imposed on the exFAT file system by the Windows OS and not an issue with the product itself.

Please follow the troubleshooting steps below before attempting to copy files:
— In the Windows File Explorer window, select and right-click the T7 Touch Drive, open the Properties dialog box, and click the Tools tab. Under Error-checking, click “Check Now”.

I cannot use my T7 Touch with some products that run on mac OS X and also use the SAT SMART Driver.

«No Samsung Portable SSD is connected.» message appears even though the Samsung Portable SSD software is installed on the Apple Mac system.

This symptom may occur when you install the Samsung Portable SSD software on the newly released (September, 2017) macOS High Sierra (10.13).

This is due to the new Apple OS’s policy that requires the user’s approval when the user installs a third-party software that is not directly distributed by Apple.

Please follow the troubleshooting guideline below:

[Symptom]
In macOS High Sierra(10.13) environment, the «System Extension Blocked» message appears when installing Samsung Portable SSD Software, and the «No Samsung Portable SSD is connected» message appears when executing Samsung Portable SSD Software.

[Troubleshooting]
Open «Security & Privacy» in the «System Preferences» menu and click the «Allow» button next to the message ”System software from developer «Samsung Electronics» was blocked from loading”.
You can use the Samsung Portable SSD after you re-connect the Samsung Portable SSD to your Mac system and execute the Samsung Portable SSD Software.

If the symptom persists even after you follow the troubleshooting guideline, please contact the authorized Samsung service center near your location.

Can I use the PSSD X5 product on all systems with USB-C (USB Type C) ports?

I cannot see the data that has been copied when I remove the device.

When I leave the Power Saving Mode, some parts of the system do not perform properly.

My PC supports both Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 but does not recognize the X5.

My T7 Touch does not perform well in some Windows 10 OS versions.

There are some decline in the writing performance in some Windows 10 OS versions due to the Write Cache Disable policy. Please enable the Write Cache option in order to improve the Write function.

​The Samsung Portable SSD Software does not operate properly in Windows 7.

My Samsung Portable SSD software does not work properly on my MacPC with an Apple M1 chip.

ANDROID MOBILE DEVICE

The “USB storage unexpectedly removed” message appears on the status bar of my mobile device.

When I connect the T7 Touch while playing an audio file on my mobile device, it stops playing the file.

I checked the file copy message on the status bar on my mobile device and then reconnected the OTG cable, but I cannot open the copied file.

Please do not remove the OTG cable immediately after copying files. It is recommended that you use the Unmount USB storage option to remove and reconnect the OTG cable safely.

Note that compatibility is not guaranteed when you use an OTG adapter.

When two or more T7 Touchs are connected, the mobile Samsung Portable SSD app does not seem to recognize them.

When I connect my T7 Touch while using certain security programs on my mobile device, the OS stops working.

I cannot launch the mobile Samsung Portable SSD app.

OTHER DEVICE

I cannot launch the mobile Samsung Portable SSD app.

The T7 Touch was developed for use with Windows OS and mac OS PCs and mobile devices. When connected to devices other than those, the T7 Touch may not be recognized or use of its features may be restricted depending on their level of support. Moreover, if you have enabled the Password Protection feature of the T7 Touch, you cannot enter your password from non-PC or non-mobile devices and thus will be unable to access data stored on the T7 Touch. Please disable the Password Protection feature before using the T7 Touch with such devices.

For example, although a majority of the latest TVs allow users to access photo, music, and video files stored on external storage devices via the USB port, some TVs still do not support this feature.
When connecting the T7 Touch to a TV, please check the following:
① Connect the T7 Touch to the TV‘s USB port and open the TV‘s menu to check whether it recognizes the T7 Touch.
→ If it fails to recognize the T7 Touch, please refer to the TV‘s user manual or contact its manufacturer to check whether USB devices are supported.

② If it recognizes the T7 Touch, check whether you can open video, music, and photo files stored on the T7 Touch via the TV.
→ If you cannot open files, check which file systems the TV supports for external storage devices. Note that the T7 Touch is formatted with the exFAT file system before shipment. If your TV supports a different file system, format your T7 Touch accordingly.

※ Formatting the T7 Touch will delete all data stored on it. Please back up your data beforehand.
→ If it meets the file system requirement, but you still cannot open video, music, or photo files, check which file extensions are supported by the TV. Some files cannot be opened if their file extensions are not supported by the TV.

For more information about other devices, please refer to the user manuals of the relevant devices or contact their manufacturers.

Can I use the T7 Touch with PCs not running the Windows OS or mac OS?

Can I use the T7 Touch with a TV or game console?

SOFTWARE

I have lost my password. Can I disable the Password Protection feature?

If I lose my password, what do I have to do to use the T7 Touch?

If you lose your password, you need to perform a factory reset at a Service Center in order to use the T7 Touch. Since restoring the T7 Touch to its factory settings will clear all data stored on it, it is recommended that you back up any important data you do not wish to lose in advance. Please note that Samsung Electronics does not guarantee any data stored on your T7 Touch under any circumstances.

For more information, please find Service Centers specified in the User Manual or on the Samsung.com minisite (http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/support/cs.html ) and make an inquiry.
