Hi all,
I bought a new Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD for my laptop, to give myself more space to play with. I went to image it over, but unfortunately it errored. I tried swapping the USB DVD drive over to another port and attached the external enclosure to a different port, using a double lead to increase the power, yet this made no difference. I then thought "Screw it, I'll just reload Windows 10. Reinstalled, but it failed on formatting. Onto Diskpart, I/O error, so I removed the SSD, swapped the old one back in and laptop booted as normal.
I then put the new drive into an external caddy on my PC and ran dispart again, drive cleaned fine, no error. There seems to be an issue between the laptop and the new SSD as both seem to be fine when not together. This is the first time I have run into this type of issue, the laptop is a Lenovo X260. Is anyone aware of some sort of known compatability issue between these and the new Samsung drives? My old X230 happily runs a 500GB Samsung 840.
