Samsung Magician на Ubuntu 14.04

Я заменил жесткий диск моего ноутбука на Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB и установил Ubuntu 14.04. Я знаю, что программное обеспечение Samsung Magician значительно улучшает производительность SSD, но не смог найти способ его установки в Ubuntu. Кто-нибудь был в состоянии или знает, как это сделать?

Установка Samsung Magican на Linux

Есть нечто, называемое samsung magician dc, которое вы можете установить в Linux. Его можно скачать по этой ссылке. Руководство можно найти в этом раскрывающемся списке. Извлеките tarball из первой ссылки и откройте получившуюся папку. Там будет две директории, 64-битная и 32-битная. Откройте тот, который соответствует вашей операционной системе. Исполняемый файл samsung magician находится в этой папке. Файл представляет собой простой двоичный файл, поэтому сделайте его исполняемым и запустите его.

Использование Samsung Magician в Linux

Использование samsung magician описано в руководстве. Также некоторую информацию о том, как использовать программное обеспечение, можно получить у sudo ./magician —help , Одна вещь, которую нужно знать, это то, что вам всегда нужно бежать magician как суперпользователь. Например, чтобы вывести список дисков Samsung, подключенных к вашей системе, вы должны использовать команду
sudo ./magician -L В руководстве описано еще много операций.

Установка прошивки

Руководство Samsung magician dc неясно, как установить прошивку (в частности, как выложить каталог, содержащий прошивку). Чтобы увидеть, как установить прошивку, смотрите этот ответ.

Обновление производительности

У 840 evo есть обновление производительности, которое (я думаю) не зависит от прошивки и не может быть сделано с помощью samsung magician dc. Я думаю, что это обновление производительности было первоначальной целью вашего вопроса, поэтому я рассмотрю его. Обновление производительности можно найти здесь. Я не сделал это обновление, но руководство по установке есть.

Samsung Magician on Ubuntu 14.04

I have replaced my laptop’s HDD with a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB and installed Ubuntu 14.04. I know that the Samsung Magician software drastically improves SSD performance, but have not been able to find a way of installing it to Ubuntu. Has anyone been able to or know how to do this?

Samsung Magician is a piece of windows software, and will not run under Ubuntu. There are several articles written about optimizing SSD performance in Linux and Ubuntu — your time may be better spent researching these.

Installing Samsung Magican on Linux

There is something called samsung magician dc that you can install in linux. It can be downloaded from this link. The manual can be found in that dropdown list. Extract the tarball from the first link, and open the resulting folder. There will be two directories, 64-bit and 32 bit. Open the one corresponding to your operating system. The samsung magician executable is in this folder. The file is a simple binary so make it executable and run it.

Using Samsung Magician On Linux

The usage of samsung magician is described in the manual. Also some information on how to use the software can be obtained from sudo ./magician —help . One thing to know is that you pretty much always have to run magician as superuser. For example to list the samsung disks attached to your system you would use the command
sudo ./magician -L There are many more operations desribed in the manual.

Installing firmware

The Samsung magician dc manual is vague on how to install firmware (specifically on how to lay out the directory containing the firmware). To see how to install firmware see this answer.

Perfomance update

The 840 evo has a performance update which (I think) is independent from firmware and cannot be done with samsung magician dc. I think this performance update was the original goal of your question, so I will address it. The performance update can be found here. I have not done this update, but the installation guide is there.
