Crystal Disk Benchmarks

[bbiigg]

Today i ran Crystal Disk on a new Kingston HyperX Savage 240g SSD and in the upper left hand corner i see

KINGSTON
SAFM
amd_sata _ ok (in green)
3839535 K - BAD (in red)
223.27

with 3839535 K - bad in red. Does this mean i have a bad or failing disk?

Hey there, bbiigg!

It would help a lot if you could share a screenshot of the results. Another thing you should try is use a different SSD diagnostic utility and then benchmark the results from both software tools. Here's a thread from the community with some third-party suggestions that you might find useful: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1926483/ssd-diagnostic-tools.html
I'd also strongly recommend you to back up any important data from the drive before proceeding with the troubleshooting!

Keep me posted with the SMART results. Good luck!

Wish i could figure out how to fit the screenshot in here. Every time i drop it in it takes up all the space on screen and no room for commands. Wont let me copy n paste.

Hey there again, bbiigg!

It's been awhile. Here's a thread that explains how to upload your pic to the community: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2286091/upload-photo-tom-hardware.html
If it still doesn't work, upload it to imgur.com and share a link to the screenshot! I'll be waiting for your SMART results.

Another thing you should do is check the firmware of your SSD and make sure you have the latest one installed. Here are some guidelines you might find useful as well: http://www.storagereview.com/how_upgrade_ssd_firmware

Keep me updated!
