When I run the utility I get the error "the performance restoration cant support dynamic disk". The firmware does not show up on Magician yet (but maybe it never will), firmwares from Magician install just fine. This one through this 'utility' doesn't.
Should I wait till this shows up on Magician or should I make a 100% copy of the drive, format as a basic disk, copy it and use it (I'm not sure this would work though)

Problem solved. I used this guide to change to Basic Disk without any data loss

I created a USB boot drive of the PartitionWizard program and converted. The Samsung utility worked just fine and I noticed a significant improvement in boot and shutdown speeds. They really ****ed it up on that EVO bug

I ran the performance restoration tool and it worked fine. I didn't notice any performance difference afterwards, but I downloaded benchmark software and the speeds are what the specs claim they're supposed to be.
