Hi all,

So I just bought my 870 EVO 2TB recently with the intention to keep my family data and started checking if its genuine. The device is, reported in both Samsung Magician and CrystaldiskInfo, using SVTO1B6Q firmware which is also the latest firmware I could download from the Samsung page.

However, the SSD Health shown up in Samsung Magician as N/A, I could only use the benchmark feature on this device. I also couldn’t find the SSD serial number through the warranty check on Samsung page as well.

On the other hand,Crystaldiskinfo is able to regconize this SSD. Everything is shown (supposedly) correctly.

So my question is, is there anyway to make the Samsung Magician to work with this device? Or is my SSD not genuine?

I am currently attaching this SSD to my 4th SATA slot on my Gigabyte B365M mobo, not sure if the position of the SATA slot affects to the regconization of the device.

    It has the initial firmware for the 870 EVO, which is years old. There are newer firmwares. Is the drive old? The manufacturing date is printed on the back.

      Manufacturing date is 2023 Apr, which is kinda new. I guest the old firmware is because Samsung Magician can’t detect this SSD as genuine so it can’t update the firmware
