Samsung F1 Issue !

I've had no problems whatsoever with it until this morning!, started up the system and windows was hanging on load up. Rebooted and i couldn't use the keyboard to start normally, so another restart and i got a 4th command SMART error on my TB. Rebooted and everything worked, the driver is hardly a few months old and it's a Samsung F1.

Going to run a few tests now :mad:

and i'm glad it's just a temp drive and not my main one. If this fails this would be another Samsung drive down the drain, whenever i've had a samsung drive ( differnet systems ) they've failed but seagate has NEVER let me down.

Ive just done a full long hard drive scan and not a single bad sector!

So what's up

Good luck with your Samgsung drive.
My 1TB Samgsung drive corrupted its master file table twice for no reason at all losing all the data in it luckily got another backup in another drive.
Tested the drive with ES-Tool and the drive passes all test fine.
Think I'm going to RMA this junk and stick it in the bay.

I know you're not happy but I would sell it rather than throwing it in the water.

That's not an environment friendly solution.

Well i'll keep an eye on it, all i can do really... It isn't my OS drive just a backup driver for retro and the odd anime episode
