Kelly:
“Just an FYI, I contacted Samsung on why Rapid mode doesn’t work with Win 10. I would also like to note some sites are offering mis-information on how to resolve it.
But here’s their official response….”
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Support regarding your concerns and inquiries. We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing you.
Magician 4.7 is an intermediary release that contains support the 850 Pro and Evo 2 TB models, patch a secure erase issue, and adds the foundational features for Magician to work with Windows 10 . We do not have an official release date for the Magician and Data Migration to fully work with Windows 10 as of yet. It is extremely important that you do not use any older versions of our software with Windows 10. Do not use Rapid mode as we are still working on how to optimally take advantage of the new RAM management features built into 10. We genuinely appreciate your patience in this matter.
Thank you again for contacting Samsung Support and have a good day.
Well done Kelly!
thnx for info
I had found a YouTube video on how to force RAPID mode in WIndows 10. I did it in October, but since Jan 1 I have had 3 BSODs. No other hardware or drivers were installed by me between those 2 dates. The BSODs were: IRQL not less or equal; Bad pool caller; DPC watchdog violation. I have now disabled RAPID mode and will see if that fixes the problem. If so, I will wait for Samsung to do an official release to support RAPID.
Newest Magician supports Win10.
