Problem Users May Face
Several problems have been reported by users while using Samsung migration software, as discussed below.
SSD not detected by Samsung Magician
Samsung Magician only supports Samsung-branded SSDs. Therefore, Samsung Magician will not authenticate your SSD if it is an OEM product distributed under a different brand name. If that’s not the case, try updating the driver to the most recent firmware to avoid compatibility difficulties because Magician does not support some older AMD chipsets and AMD drivers.
If the SSD is not connected correctly, it may fail to be detected. Reconnect the drive and try again. Check that the SATA connection is not obstructed or damaged. Replace the SATA cable, then try again.
Performance optimization
If the user faces a problem with the performance optimization feature, the reason could be the SSD capacity, which is smaller than 137GB. For example, on Windows XP/2003, an issue with the ATA PASS-THROUGH capability may arise.
