Help- Samsung Pro Evo 1TB data corruption?

[ver2ual]

I have 2 Samsung Evo Pro 1 TB SSD that I am using for backup storage. A few weeks ago I got the common error "Disk Needs Formatting". I tried to recover the data and then formatted it. This week I'm using the other SSD and suddenly could not open the the folder and kept getting a corrupt error. I dismounted the SSD, and plugges it back in. Now the I get the "Disk Needs Formatting" error and can't access my data.

My question: Are SSD's typically this unstable and more sensitive to data corruption than HDD's? These drives were incredibly expensive and are totally unreliable.

SSD's are just as easily to corrupt on a "Software" level as HDD's because it has nothing to do with the device it self but what the OS write to it.

But I would run Crystal Disk Info. Just to see if they might be failing but SSD's should have a MUCH longer life span than HDDs.

Ok. Thaanks for that. I've never had a normal external HDD give me the error- ever, and I've had 2 SSDs in the last month. Could it be becasue of the Sata bay I am using to mount the drives?

Something new has happened that I can't explain. Now with the drice dismounted and the computer rebooted, my DVD drive is showing it allocated as the Samsung SSD- and the DVD drive is empty. See image below:

That is odd.

So you are using a dock to swap these drives in and out? That could very well be the issue. I would try to do the Safely Remove Drive option vs just yanking it out if that is what you are doing
