#How to format samsung ssd 860 evo install#
Ideally, you should install the OS fresh in UEFI mode, with the RAID (Intel RST) enabled in the BIOS, which means the RST driver needs to be installed at installation time (F6 driver.) If you install the OS in AHCI mode then it will be really hard to get it out of AHCI mode and into RAID without potentially destroying the OS install. If the OS was previously installed in AHCI mode, then it will only boot in AHCI.

This kind of software is intended for magnetic storage since a single erase isn't good enough.Ī) Did you tell it to boot from the DRIVE and not the WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER ? The Windows Boot Manager will only boot if selected from the UEFI BIOSī) Did you toggle AHCI/RAID from the SATA/HDD/SDD menu in the BIOS, the optimal setting is RAID if the Intel RST driver is installed on Intel systems. So on TLC you may drastically destroy remaining write cycles. This costs one write cycle.ĭon't use secure erase software that writes data to the drive (eg military/nsa) as that will cost at least 5 writes to the drive. If you have certain BIOS's, you can actually trigger the secure erase of NVme SSD's and SATA SSD's. Everything hooked up correctly but it's not reading the ssd, any ideas? I planned to wipe the drive once installed in my new build. YMMV.Just installed the ssd into my new build. Plus all the headaches of Magician related issues with the card. Nothing like turn on the PC and few seconds later it prompts for login. I like the simple and relatively fast onboard's SATA 2. I don't need to use RAID for home use and all the overhead and loss of precious space. I think the onboard SATA2's higher IOPS makes up for the lower throughput. Overall operation in Windows is pretty fast I guess but nothing that onbard SATA 2 can't handle. X2+ slot which I have to use the x16 slot. IO Crest card takes up a precious slot - my HP PC comes with one x16 and x1 slots. Windows logo comes on albeit pretty short(the old onboard SATA 2 is so quick to boot that I don't see BIOS nor Windows logo screen and it's about 4-5 secs to login screen and bypass the ugly BIOS wait). Boot time is longer by 3-5 seconds longer.BIOS screen comes on for eternity. Samsung Magician does not recognize the FW is on the SSD now. Samsung Magician does not recognize the SSD drive nor the interface. However, after playing around trying to max it out, I see other disavantages. It has pumped up the throughput to 538/442 Mb/s from 284/271 of onboard SATA 2. So I returned the Vantec and bought IO Crest SI-PEX40058 card. So having 2 SATA controllers might not be good idea.Ĭheers! Thanks UsandThem. I can assume that if BIOS allows to disable the onboard SATA controller, then the PCI SATA controller might work faster, but my HP does not allow disabling it.

So this manual drivers update probably further improved it to 5-6 seconds. I remember it took 11 seconds to boot to login screen few days after the Win10 installation.

One another positive outcome, if any, is that because of this speed troubleshooting, I updated a handful of Windows 10 drivers from the fresh install a week ago. Boots so fast that it feels like the PC is waking up from sleep mode! Takes 6 seconds.so fast that during the boot driver loading and Windows logo and circle dots don't even appear at all!!! Since it doesn't show the Windows 10 logo I measured it from the time monitor power lights up till login screen = 6 sec. And also shutdown took 20 seconds.īoot time improved in huge way. It took 26 seconds to boot to Windows login screen. Click to expand.Yeah I'm gonna return the Vantec card definitely.
