Samsung 840 Evo performance from 7.3 to 6.1

plshelp840 · Nov 26, 2014

My rating for my Samsung 840 EVO 120GB went from 7.3 on the windows performance to 6.1. I ran the test today for the first time, because I've been noticing a slower than usual boot time from when I first got the SSD.

I guess the goal of this thread is to see if I could do anything to improve the performance.

There is a performance patch exactly for this issue that people noticed. Samsung fixed it very quickly. Do a search for "performance patch 840 EVO". you download it with samsung's own software wizard thing

Get the performance restoration software here:

The kit will update your firmware and 'refresh' all the data on the drive. This can take a while depending on the amount of data on the drive. My 500GB model is about half full and it took over an hour so just be patient. And that's it. Problem fixed and firmware fixed so it can't slow down again.
