Hi, Since the full Magician scan some things to note. I still have the SSD connected internally. The Magician scan was completed with no errors. The following day, I had to work on a project so I took what was originally my internal drive into the external enclosure. I think about several...

Since my reply, I have an update... Windows prompted me with the familiar disk error message a few hours after leaving my response. Before addressing it, I decided to swap the drives first for the screenshot. I reinserted the problematic SSD and, upon bootup, an error repairing message came up...

Understood. I swapped the Crucial with the Samsung since I already did a version of repair on the Curcial. I also downloaded Crucial and Samsung diagnostics tools and learned something interesting but, i have no idea what it means. The Curcial drives needed a FW update so I went ahead and...

Thank you. It's an external SSD and it looks identical to this. So, it's an internal SSD with an enclosure. I have 1 original SSD and another replacement drive. The first drive is a Samsung SSD 860 EVO 4TB and the replacement drive is a Crucial MX500 4TB 3D

I'm on a Laptop: Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz 32.0 GB RAM Windows 10 Home 64-bit I repaired the error today so I don't have any screenshots available right now. Referencing the past error messages, I would get the following, hope this helps. The type of the file system is...

Hi, I'm having a very frustrating situation. Despite many repairs, my SSD keeps getting error messages after a couple of days. Since January, this is the second replacement drive. As Admin I've run the repair commands on CMD Prompt and Powershell. I formatted the drive several times. In the...

Hey, It turns out the original drive is a SATA M.2 Reluctant to say but, I noticed it after cloning the drive and upon boot failure using the new NVMe drive. You said going SATA to NVMe is problematic, is it safe for me to clone the drive or doing a clean install a better option now? Best,

Awesome, thanks for the info!! I was only able to take a glance at Macrium but, I'll be using Acronis for the cloning and planned on using the EaseUS for the partition merge. Does Macrium handle partition merging? it looks like its specific for back-ups and redundancy.

ahh, thank you! I found some info on a partition tool called EaseUS Partition Master - https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager-software/combine-partitions-windows-10-free.html#2 I'm gonna google some other companies later but, I'm thinking of giving this a shot :) Also found this vid: View...

Thanks for the quick response! oops, forgot about the details... What drive is in it now? Cloning from SATA to NVMe can be problematic. >>This is an NVMe to NVMe cloning. What OS is this? >>Windows OS 10 Home How long have you had it? >>About 2 years. Would a clean install be a real pain...

Hi, I want to update my current main SSD (m.2 NVMe). I always clone my drive but, this time, since I purchased a laptop, they're already partitioned in a way that won't allow me to expand the main boot partition (a different partition is after the main boot part.). I was suggested to clone the...

thanks, and no worries. As a pedant, I appreciate detailed info but I think I get it ;) Ignoring marketing, you're saying there are different levels to it. A drive level, controller level, connection level, etc. So, regarding performance, price doesn't necessarily dictate it but, ultimately...

Thanks for the response! out of curiosity... Is there such a thing as "Real" MLC/TLC NANDS and "Fake" ones? like how CPU's have virtual cores and physical cores, are there things I should watch out for as a consumer? The reason why I ask is that the price differences between some of these...

Hey, So, I'm a bit confused about what my Music & Video production system does regarding read/write onto a drive. Ideally, I would like an SLC based drive but, I wouldn't mind sacrificing a little bit of performance to save some cash. I'm looking to upgrade my laptop 250GB SSD's (1x M.2 NVMe...

Win 10 64bit Nvidia GeForce GT 730 So, something's going on but I can't figure it out... I googled similar instances but nada. One of the explanations on why I kept crashing was because my graphics card driver wasn't updated. Under device manager, my gfx card has a "!" mark on it (Windows...
