Samsung 840 Evo Migration Software For Mac
The Best SSDs. Including the MX500, come with a license key for Acronis True Image HD software; Samsung’s SSDs all ship with Samsung’s data-migration software. Otherwise you can use the free MiniTool. Not SATA models. Drives like the Crucial MX500 and Samsung 860 Evo are significantly cheaper but not all that much slower. 840 EVO in my wife's Mac. MX100 in my gaming rig. I know it makes sense from Samsung's perspective to drop this for Windows initially, but I can't get past that depressed feeling of knowing I can.
You will need to update Firmware first Having just fitted a 840 pro SSD to my mac i would definitely advise updating the firmware on your SSD before putting any data on the SSD as the firmware update is a destructive update, by the way you will have to update the firmware by connecting the ssd to a windows machine via Samsungs Magician software and this connection will have to be made via a specific usb to sat 3 cable as a pose to via a caddy cable which has usb plugs on both ends, this lead is very important as the magician software will not recognise the ssd otherwise. I am not sure why this is but it is the only way, i found all this out the hard way. Hence i would advise buying a usb to Sata 3 cable independant of a caddy, the caddy being an option but the cable is not if you wish to upgrade the firmware, i bought mine off e bay for £5. Hope that helps.
Click to expand.crucial M4 came with it. Assumed samung 840 would do the same. They should have included it though. Its in the instruction manuel for christsake. It kinda felt like the moment when you buy a printer. Set up the printer. Look at the last step in the manuel where it says 'connect the printer to the computer with the cable'.look for the non-existant cable.
Then go back to the store to buy the damn cable. You get what im trying to say? Its kinda stupid to not include the cable when the consumer clearly needs it.
