Raid 0 SSD test tool

[Acps87]

I was able to find plenty of threads on software to test ssd in other threads however, I couldn't find any that mentioned being able to test a raid 0 configuration. I think one of my ssd's are going bad. It was so bad I had to reinstall windows and setup raid again. But some of the errors are coming back slowly. I am looking for something that can look at each ssd to see if one of them is the problem or the other. I have no problem. Replacing both, just didn't seem likely they would both crap out at the same time. Any help with this would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

I think you may need something like CrystalDiskInfo to look at the SMART data of the SSDs to identify which one is failing.

You'll need the RAID software for your RAID card. You may need to go to the motherboard manufactures site.

It's a RAID0, so if one drives dies, your RAID dies. Could just be data corruption though.

Ok, so I looked and it is an Intel Raid 0. Does that mean I need to use intels software to check my SSD's in my raid?

Yes, it should be available in the downloads for the specific motherboard.

Ok I was able to download the Matrix storage software from intel, and while it does give some great information about my disks in my raid configuration, there is nothing really for troubleshooting or testing the ssd specifically for errors. Any ideas?

I'm not 100% certain, but there should be an option for a quick or full test. There should also be SMART information somewhere.

Unfortunately, I'm on AMD and not familiar with the intel software, so I won't be much further assistance here.

It doesn't have any type of test feature, although it did tell me that my SSD's are corsair. I tried downloaded the corsair toolbox as well, but it cannot look at the SSD's correctly due to the fact they are in a raid 0. It cannot pull the SMART information.... I don't see the SMART information on the Intel Matrix software either....

Try this and see if it can see past the RAID

If not, you might have to break the RAID and boot from Corsair or WD software.

That toolbox was just what I ws looking for, wonder why when I searched in intels website under ssd software, the only thing they gave me to download was the matrix software lol.

After looking through this tool it looks like my SSD's are in perfect condition, haha. Which means that some other piece of hardware is having issues. I guess that is a good thing the SSD are only 16 months old and the SMART status says they have 98% of their life remaining still!

Thanks for your help!
