The SSD FW is current according to Samsung Magician.
I burned the Seatools iso to a CD and it boots but even after changing the controller mode to IDE it still winds up on a blank screen after all the other text appears. Is it worth running the Windows version of the tool?
All the Windows updates are successful other than KB2861208, which a lot of people report as failing. I tried it as a standalone install and it also gets the error as "not applicable" or being blocked by something else. I also tried using the Update Readiness tool and it reported no errors so perhaps it (KB2861208) really doesn't apply to the version of .NET I have installed as it (4.5) came from the Gigabyte website. I guess I could uninstall it and let it download.
ETA: I ran the Seatools for Windows short tests on my 2 HDD and everything was a Pass as was the SMART results.
