Integrative Drive Health Check
Access the status of your SSDs at a glance on a real-time basis over many criteria including over-provisioning ratios, optimization rates, and diagnostic scans.

SSD Authenticity
Confirm the authenticity of your drive to ensure you have access to the superior performance and reliability that only comes from a genuine Samsung SSD.

S.M.A.R.T. Check
Check S.M.A.R.T. to inspect your SSD and detect possible drive Failure before it happens.

Performance Benchmark
Check that your SSD is maintaining the highest performance possible. Specific conditions such as the test volume, number of tests, chunk size, number of threads, and more can be adjusted to customize your benchmark tests.

Performance Optimization
Restore the performance of your SSD from degradation by performance enhancement (TRIM) and achieve faster performance through RAPID Mode which is intelligent DRAM caching of data.

Diagnostic Scan
Identify and fix potential problems with partial or full scans to maintain your drive’s capabilities.

Over Provisioning
Resize partitions to ensure your drive has enough free space to effectively carry out routine maintenance, such as TRIM and Garbage Collection. The over-provisioning feature helps the SSD prepare free blocks, which improves performance and extends your drive’s life span.

Customized Power Efficiency
When using performance optimization, you can set four modes according to your preferences: (1) Full Performance Mode maximizes the performance of the SSD, (2) Power Saving Mode increases power efficiency, (3) Standard Mode sets the SSD to use power at a moderate level, and (4) Custom Mode allows you to customize the power usage of your SSD.
