For a Samsung 840 pro (Mac Mini 2011 primary boot with firmware DXM03B0Q.), I have tried the following, to upgrade to DXM04B0Q firmware (Dec 13, 2012). Create a USB boot from Samsung SSD Magician v3.2.1. Error - 'No HDD EBIOS'. VMs (like VMware Fusion) do not see the SSD, but just a volume. Cannot Update. Create a CD boot from Samsung Magician.
Software for cloning is called SuperDuper and works pretty well with no data loss. After cloning you simply need to take the back cover off, remove current HDD and replace with Samsung SSD.
Not recognised by the Mac Mini as bootable. Tried with Multiple CDs, which are perfectly readable in OS X and Linux. Tried 'Target Fire Wire Mode' as both Target and Host. Cannot see the SSD, but just the volume where OS X is installed. Cannot update. Using and building my own FreeDOS (1.0 and 1.1) which has issues with the DSRDGUI0.EXE not working.
It generates an error. Bootcamp seems to be the best alternative, but requires a Windows install and Bootcamp does not make it easy.
There is no support for external disks in ML and requires Windows 7. It has been a frustrating experience so far.
