Hello,

I am thinking about my Samsung 845DC Evo model MZ-7GE960EW health, but
Samsung software does not recognise it. Any way I can check its health
in percentage?
Is there anything odd about how you obtained the Samsung softwa
something other than either it came with the product, or you downloaded
it from their website by just typing in the product name/number?

I'm working round the question "If it's a Samsung product not being
recognised by Samsung software, have you asked Samsung?", by trying to
pre-think any answer (excuse) they could make.

If it _did_ come with the product, or was a fairly _obvious_ download
from the website, I would say you've nothing to lose (except hair: I
don't know what Samsung are like) by asking them.


Thanks to all,

I have not as yet booted up from a Linux live distro or asked Samsung.
I got the drive second hand and it did not come with anything else.
Will try both options.

As Vanguard pointed out, some of the download links are
for Windows. You can try the 32 bit or 64 bit Windows
one first.

Samsung didn't have to use "twiddle-knobs" for the downloads,
and could have made a nice flat file with all the links on it.
They didn't have to make a "treasure hunt" out of it.
