    One wish I have if Samsung would support seeing SSDs in RAID Mode. SanDisk's utility is able to see disks in RAID mode, upgrade firmware and do all the functions just fine.

    It's been like this for years. Very dumb considering many laptops/computers are configured in RAID mode. About freakin' time they support this.

    When I had a Samsung SSD in my system I had to format in AHCI and install Windows, do the firmware upgrade, then reformat again while in RAID mode. :rolleyes:

    Only very few support FW update via RAID. I think Crucial/Micron, Sk hynix and DataCenter SSD from Samsung can do FW update regardless of SATA mode either AHCI or RAID.
    Didn't you do Safe mode trick to load and unload RAID/AHCI w/o Clean installing Windows?
