Bios splash to first desktop appearance seems to be normal, but loading all the on boot apps is where it slows noticeably. In fact it's probably takes twice as long at the moment.
I gave Samsung a reminder that it is now April, just had this reply.......
Thank you for your e-mail.
Samsung has already develped a solution for the below problem.
Soon the new firmware will be available in the newe Magician version.
Thank you.

This is just getting silly now, with the implementation time moving on wheels as time goes on. If they say that they have generated the solution for everyone out there, why dont they just release as a hot fix? The next version of the Magician Software, but no date for that being released either
Just counting myself lucky that I went and ordered a 256GB 850 Pro version, as there is no reported problems on this drive after a little reviewing

Yes, it would be good if this wasn't a problem in the first place, or it was fixed with the previous update, or the new update was made available by the end of March, as they stated.
As the "faulty" EVOs are still working, and we've got plenty of warranty left, I don't mind waiting a little while longer if it fixes the problem properly. The longer they take, the more Crucial SSDs I'm buying, and the more likely that I'll switch permanently from Samsung to Crucial.
Having said that, if we are left waiting much longer, or the next update still doesn't fix the issue, then it's time to demand that Samsung take more decisive action for their customers.
It is annoying waiting as Samsung did say March for their new fix.
Hopefully they will get it right this time? If not I will go with Crucial like you.
I see a date of 14th April mentioned on a couple of sites for the new magician/firmware release. I'll believe it when I see it
So will I, but I think it will happen.
What's more of a concern is not exactly when it's available, it's if it fixes the problem or not.
Let's hope that they fix the issue with this update and firmware. I don't mind waiting as long as it fixes the issue. Would rather wait a few more weeks than th m release a update and it not fix the issue again as hopefully this is a perminant fix for the 840 evo

guys i currently have 2 500gb evos in raid0
is there anyway i can change this to raid1 . as my O/s is installed along with games.
i know best option would be to do a wipe and reinstall. but due to having a crappy 3mb/s internet connection i dont wanat to spend weeks redownloading stuff.
Also as these drives are under warranty. do we have options of RMA and request upgrade to better drives/and/or pay difference to say an m.2 drive/ evo 850

^Create a new thread for that, this thread is for the issues with the drive.
Use Macrium Reflect to do what you want, take an image, save it somewhere else, then break up the raid and restore it.

well I called scam today as I never heard back about my RMA on my 840 evo as they have had it for 2 weeks and confirmed it was faulty.
they are sending me back a 850 in its place as the 840 is at its end of life.
I returned my other 840 to PCwo**d and changed that for a 850 a few weeks ago. hope the 14th of April is the release date for the fix

if you are running raid you will not be able to apply the new firmware through the magician software as this doesn't detect the drives (I had mine in raid for a short time) you will need to do the firmware update via a USB stick
Were your 840's actually faulty, or were they slowing down ?

can i ask again, does this issue affect the 850 evo's?
Not that we know of.
