Question Crucial SSD MX500 4TB converts from GPT to MBR by itself as external drive!

[TheFlyingCelt]

I moved the SSD into the enclosure again, ran "Diskpart" in cmd and then the "clean" command.
Then I initialized the disk in Windows Disk Management and created a simple new partition (GPT, NTFS). I've been testing it for many hours by copying files, turning it on and off, rebooting the system, etc and not a problem since. Fingers crossed 🤞
I am not feeling very confident to back up all my stuff on it considering what happened, so here's a question for you guys: is there any command/software whatever to check if everything is set in he drive/table/filesystem as it should apart from chkdsk?

Once again: if it will stop working again I'll post here to let the community know.

Then keep using it in enclosure.
If you connect it internally, you'll have to repartition and reformat again.

CHKDSK doesn't check the file contents, so any file corruption won't be detected. CHKDSK merely tests the consistency of the file system's metadata.

Yeah, I know. I'm actually looking for something that will confirm the partition table and the parameters (if it makes sense?) are as they should be for the drive to provide me some reliability.

ZFS and BTRFS are two file systems which add checksums to files and metadata. That would be the way to go for mission critical applications, I would think.
