I haven't tested if a downgrade of BIOS would be possible, but if you say that it isn't, I don't need to try it by myself.
I really hope that there is a solution for it. I am very sad about this BIOS-Update and that it broke my SSDs. So: What can I do? Do I really need new SSDs after this BIOS-Update? I can't believe that the BIOS-Update 0068 broke all of the three Samsung SSD 850 EVO in all of the three NUCs. But I had no luck, I can't boot the system when the SSD 850 EVO is plugged in.Īll of my three NUCs have exactly the same behavior. Then I reinserted it into the NUC and wanted to do a fresh install of Windows 10. I took the Samsung SSD 850 EVO and put it into another PC and did a Secure Erase. With my Windows 10 USB-Stick I could install a fresh system on this SSD. Then I changed the SSD and put in a Samsung PM851 with 128 GB. I enabled setup defaults, but no success, the Windows system does not boot. When I unplug the SSD, I can access BIOS setup. I can't even go to BIOS Setup or startup menu. The OS does not start any more, only the Intel NUC-Screen appears. After it had finished the LED was solid blue and the NUC tried to reboot. While it installed the update, the LED was blinking blue. Today I did the BIOS-Update against Meltdown and Spectre (0068): I imagine 4.9.7 doesn't use a verification server and that they implemented that in version 5 to thwart non genuine drives.I own three NUC5PPYH with Samsung SSD 850 EVO 120 GB, 8 GB RAM and Windows 10 Pro. So if issue happens again, problem is likely their verification server is down. We have contacted our Software Support regarding this." Some users have reported the same issue with a 'Refresh' being the solution. "It may have been a verification issue with our servers identifying the drives. I emailed Samsung support for SSD and here was the issue: I'm at a loss as to why? Can anyone help me out? Thanks! However, Magician 5 shows the serial, the name of the drive, AHCI enabled, Trim Enabled, Sata 6.0 interface, but the top portion shows "This drive is not supported". Magician 4.9.7 authenticates the drive as genuine and shows the drive fully supported. BIOS has AHCI enabled and Hot Plug Enabled. I have all of the latest system drivers installed. I have the latest Intel RST drivers installed. Installed it into an Asus M51AD-B08 desktop. I purchased a brand new MZ-75E500B/AM from BestBuy. Re: Samsung 850 EVO "This Drive is Not Supported" with Magician 5? It mentions that they use verification servers to determine drive status Here is a paste of the bit I was referring to from that thread.
