zarzonis Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi, I ordered this SSD and I will receive it on Monday. My question is this. Which firmware must I download? Right now on samsung site there is a different firmware for Mac and Windows. Right now I have only a working hackintosh system running HDD. I'll update the firmware before I install Mac on it. Propably I'll dual boot windows on this SSD. Will I have any problem with any OS due to the firmware? My primary target is to install Mac on it for iOS development... You can see the different firmwares on samsung site here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/downloads.html The latest for Mac is DXM04B0Q and the latest for Windows is DXM05B0Q thank you in advance, Spyros Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288844-question-about-samsung-840-pro-ssd-firmware-on-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tle88 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 This is interesting question. I do not know, but I can made guess: Firmware is related to hardware, and Hackintosh is made from pc hardware. Osx is only over that with needed software layer. I believe that pc firmware is the answer, but this really is only a guess.

zarzonis Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Thank you for your answer. That's what i also believe. I'll try the windows firmware which is also newer. Samsung updated the SSD on May. I'll post back when i receive and update the SSD. If anyone else has another opinion, i'll would be glad to hear it.

zarzonis Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 I received the SSD today and i burned teh windows iso to a cd. I upgraded the firmware to the latest windows version and i successfully installed Mountain Lion in it. No problem at all.
