So what to do now? I'm running two 840evos with stock firmware and never ran the performance restoration tool. The next step would be installing the new Magician crapware, and what to do then?

Just install Magician 4.6 & update the firmware - should hopefully fix it, better than leaving it with whatever you have now! Simple! It does look like they've finally fixed this, but we can't tell for sure until another 6 months down the line!
EDIT: Use the Read Speed Tester at this site to periodically check read speeds of old data (it's been created specifically to monitor the Evo problem - SSDReadSpeedTester2.04.zip.):

Okay, will give it a try once the SSD needs to be formatted for my next setup anyway.

Recently did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and after I installed magician the system just freezes after magician starts... (tried it with 4.5 and 4.6 with the exact same result) any ideas of what might be causing this?
Extra info:
Samsung 840 Pro - 128GB
840 Pro set as an SSD in Bios and AHCI

Hey try uninstalling and deleting the leftover folder. Then reinstall as an admin even if you are one (I recommend doing this with all drivers cause windows 8 is a pos like that sometimes)
Edit- Also make sure you windows fully up to date before even installing

Sorry meant any leftover installation folders but it looks like it does is a clean uninstall. If reinstalling does not work i would look into the chipset drivers

Lazy Samsung bums. The firmware update wouldn't work even on Intel AHCI sata drivers, as opposed to the old warning that it doesn't like AMD specifically, so I needed to switch to MS default to apply the update, and then switch back to Intel. I hope this is worth all the reboots and hassle.

Is anybody else missing the Over Provisioning option with Magician 5.0?
