Uwe: No, Windows will not update the SSD firmware by itself. Samsung has
a windows application for updates, but it has to be downloaded from
Samsung and executed.
You really should update the firmware though. I also bought my 840 about
a year ago and before updating the firmware noticed severe performance
degradation and a few corrupted files. Performance according to "hdparm
-t /dev/sda" was down to 60 MB/s. After the firmware upgrade performance
was restored to 516 MB/s.

Bug description:
Hi,
after updating Samsung SSD 840 EVO to the latest firmware (EXT0DB6Q) the
fstream command doesn't work anymore. Besides, there are a lot of file system
errors and "bad sectors" reports. The problem is certainly caused by Samsung's
firmware but I reported it as a bug because in Windows TRIM works normally
after the upgrade. I have attached an image uploaded by a user who is
experiencing the same problem. If you execute the command "sudo fstrim /" the
console gets stuck. If you add that command in rc.local the boot is
compromised. I really hope this problem could be solved.
Thanks
