Welp I’m twelve hours into chkdsk /r on a four month old Samsung 970 Pro after one block started sending CRC errors to Windows. System’s running fine, but Macrium Reflect’s backup errors out and Samsung Magician’s various health checks could recognize the bad block and couldn’t do anything with it. (No SMART errors declared either) Genuinely wondering if it’s just Windows being stupid after some updates the other day. Love this, I totally don’t have things I need to do on my computer today.

future ghost posted:I had to RMA a 970 EVO that was doing something similar. Was getting Media and Integrity errors listed in SMART logs, and HDTune's error scan tab looked like a christmas tree with all the red block errors. Each time HDT found an error it created a corresponding disk error in event logs. Sent all of that to Samsung and they approved the RMA. Whatever was hosed up it was a Windows problem. Ended up restoring from backups, there were never any issues with the drive itself in SMART or a chkdsk afterwards. Somehow it just hosed its own filesystem up. Yay!

Here's the smart info for the drive that had an error reported. After I restored from backup I ran the integrity check in Samsung Magician and it reported no errors when it did previously. I haven't bothered doing chkdsk again, but I could if you think it's really necessary.

Oxyclean posted:Looking for some recommends - I've got two 1TB SSD drives, one m2, one SATA, leaning towards getting another 1-2 TB SSD just so I don't have to worry about juggling game installs or where I save stuff too much. I assume I'll want a SATA drive since I only have the one m2 port on my mobo? (I assume there's like PCIE cards that give you more m2 slots but dont know if that's worth it?) Then also any recommends for an external, probably just HDD for backups just so I can worry a little less about losing important projects. what's your motherboard? sometimes using a motherboard m.2 slot can turn off some sata ports, so it's important to check before you add that. (this isn't a thing on most recent boards but only one m.2 slot makes me think yours is a bit older)

Ofecks posted:I got my dumb M.2 screw kit in and put in the new NVMe (Samsung 970 EVO Plus). I noticed right away how much hotter this thing runs than my system drive (a 960 EVO). Apparently the thermal limit on the 970 Plus is 70ºC and, while I'm currently xferring all my storage drive data to it, it's hitting kinda close to that, in the low 60s. Is this a concern for longevity? See what it's like in general usage, not when you're hitting it with a big data transfer to fill it up for the first time.

Hasturtium posted:I have an unorthodox workstation, and am looking at a reasonably ambitious upgrade to the sorta stodgy Samsung 870 256GB SATA SSD/4TB 3.5” Seagate HDD I’ve been running for the past couple of years. Bear with me. I think this is an Evilution set if you’re still trying Final Doomer.

Smashing Link posted:Is it OK that Amazon shipped my SSD without any padding? The box is about half the size of a shoebox. Outside of the SSD package is slightly scuffed. Yes, presuming it was contained in the manufacturer’s package inside the box. SSDs are pretty resilient and the manufacturer’s box should contain a plastic case that protected it from any damage during shipping.
