Samsung SSD EVO and RAW warning
Samsung SSD EVO and RAW warning
(OP)
I recently upgraded my PC to a Samsung SSD EVO 120 GB
When I go into the Samsung magician that comes with it to set 'over provisioning' it seems to work, but I see a warning sign with the message in red
'Using a RAW partition may damage your data. OP can be set or cleared only from the last partition'
The disk shows as set:
Disk 0 111.79 GB white | C: 100.51 GB NTFS blue | OP 11.18 GB dark grey
Can anyone tell me what this warning means, whether I need to do something to fix it, and if so how?
Thanks
Andy

Thanks for the link. tried turning on the defragment service but it didn't seem to make a difference
Under disk management it shows the SSD drive has the following partitions:
Data 100 MB NTFS Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition) This I believe is the system_drv and created by win_7 by default and needed
Windows_7_OS 100.51 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page File, Primary Partition)
11.18 GB Unallocated - This was created by the Samsung Magician when I clicked Over Partition button
The only one which seems non-standard is the 11.18 GB, but this is created by the magician software itself, so I'm at a bit of a lost at the warning

So as I understand your saying its just a poorly worded warning that appears no matter what and I should ignore it.
The SSD disk was formatted NTFS and the OP was then taken off this when I clicked the OP button in magician, so I guess what you say is right that the OP area (11.18 GB) is just unallocated and not RAW, and I don't need to worry. Must admit Ive not seen any errors
Thanks for clearing that up

Here's a pretty in depth article with tests:
