Did you do an unclean shutdown or power off etc?

No nothing like that as far as im aware and my partner doesn't use the pc. I assumed it was something that a ssd did. No errors to report after check was done.

A bit odd but its all working fine as far as I can tell.

The other thing I wanted to mention was sometimes its like the ssd doesn't kick in on startup and it stays on the bios option screen but if I reset it all loads up fine. This seems to happen once every week or two.

The checking drive for consistency thing has only happened once though.

I'd ignore it for now and continue, if it keeps popping up again frequently the sdd may have an issue but probably nothing to worry about. Not used an petrols, but theres a firmware update if you want to try that.

Do note depending on firmware present, it may be a destructive flash.

Updating the firmware from the toolbox is not supported when Windows is running off the drive you are trying to update.

WARNING: This is a Destructive Flash, back up all data on SSD. Proceeding with this update will result in complete loss of data on the SSD. Toolbox will update to drives to firmware version 3.12 first before updating to the latest firmware version. For users with firmware version 3.12, this is not a destructive update.

-Toolbox will not update a primary system drive (e.g. drive letter "C:"). You must run Windows from another drive and then update your SSD using Toolbox.
