Frequently Asked Questions
To start Data Migration, the source disk must be smaller than the target disk. Media data such as movies, music, and photos should be moved to other storage or deleted whenever possible. The Samsung Data Migration software (Samsung Magician Software) provides the features above for user convenience. However, users should prepare sufficient storage to transfer media files.
The Samsung Data Migration software (Samsung Magician Software) is designed to facilitate the fast, easy, and secure migration of all data, including the current OS version, application software, and user data, from the existing storage device (e.g., HDD) to a new Samsung SSD.
Samsung NVMe™ SSDs don't necessarily require a heatsink because they maintain optimal performance through Samsung's advanced design and manufacturing capabilities, along with integrated heat dissipation thermal labels.
In rare cases with high workloads involving transferring several hundred GB, however, performance may be suppressed to protect the integrity of the SSD using Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Throttling algorithm.
Additionally, external heat sources such as CPUs or high-power graphics cards placed in close proximity to Samsung NVMe™ SSDs can negatively affect the airflow around NVMe™ SSDs, resulting in performance degradation.
Please ensure proper airflow around the Samsung NVMe™ SSD.
Samsung NVMe™ M.2 SSDs do not come with screws. This is because motherboard manufacturers usually provide standard screws and spacers by motherboard.
1. If the SSD is not properly connected, the system may fail to recognise the SSD. Replace the cable or reconnect it to a different storage slot.
2. Check the BIOS settings or slots before configuring the boot sequence for the OS.
3. If the BIOS of the motherboard is outdated, the PC may not support the SSD. Update the motherboard BIOS to the latest version.
Samsung NVMe™ SSDs use the M.2 (2280) form factor. M.2 is the industry standard, and Samsung NVMe™ SSDs are 22mm wide and 80mm long.
Samsung SSDs comply with the IDEMA (International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials) standards.
However, the difference between the actual capacity and the displayed capacity is due to the different methods of representing 1GB. To make it easier for consumers, the manufacturer expresses 1GB as 1,000MB instead of 1,024MB, but the calculation is based on 1,024MB when the OS calculates the capacity.
Samsung brand SSDs have a limited warranty. For more details, please refer to the warranty information on the website below:
