Hello! I recently purchased several new Samsung Evo 850 1TB SSDs for my gaming rig. Unfortunately I am running into an issue.
I can create files on the drive and can not seem to find the reason for the following:
-When installing games from steam or blizzard I am getting write errors that are causing the installations to fail.
Now initially I thought maybe the initial drive I installed was DOA and swapped it out for another new 850. Unfortunately, this drive started doing the same thing. I swapped it out with another, same thing.
So it seems no matter WHAT SSD I install, I am running into these issues where game download and installations are running into write errors.
I have ran diskpart and cleared all the read only attributes as a suggestion on google recommended to no avail.
Unfortunately I am at witts end and can not figure out why the PC is doing this.
Does anyone have any further suggestions (Btw - I am replacing the SATA cable right after I post this just in case that is the issue even though it worked fine with the old SSD)
