Question Missing SSD on benchmarking test?

It could be a more serious issue.
When a device fails it's portion of the benchmark, it's automatically classified as 'incomplete'. [All those red bars you see at the top of the page.]

The Samsung 970 Evo got flagged for 'sequential bench incomplete'. Over on the FAQ:
"Incomplete sequential tests: The sustained sequential write test requires enough free space for 60 seconds of continuous writes. A SATA ssd with a write speed of 500 MB/s requires at least 60 x 500MB = 30,000MB = 30GB of free space."
I guess there wasn't enough free space left over for the much faster than 500 MB/s drive for all the continuous writes it was doing for that specific test.
You can pretty much ignore this result.

The Seagate Barracuda on the other hand, has a plain 0 for the 4K random benchmark. This is likely what flagged your run as incomplete.
Drive health needs to come into question. Crystal Disk Info(not Mark) can help with that.


If there's another storage drive besides those 2, it didn't appear.
