ssd problem.

[RussD]

ever since the new samsung magician update I have had some problems.
1st was a blue screen (twice) when I redid the OS optimization. Never had the problem with the old software. So I changed the Optomization to "Maximum Capacity"

2nd - Now every few days I get this-- This ssd will be in Read-Only Mode. No operation can be performed on this ssd..

Any ideas as to why it should do this. Only half way full (128GB ssd) Only used for OS & programs. I need an answer if any one has one.
If this ssd fails I'll never Ever buy another. Reason, because everyone said they were Better than a normal HDD. Well I never had a problem with a normal HDD.

Samsung SSD 830 series--AHCI-Activated..Sata 6Gb/s (SATA 3) connected..
OS Optimization-Maximum Capacity.

It is also saying--Drive Health Status in RED..POOR back up the data and replace the disk. Total Bytes Written 0.00TB.
How can this Be ??????

Sequential Read--543---Sequential Write--333
Random Read--73836---Random Write--30432

I also had a BSOD when I used Samsung Magician to do the OS optimization.. Didn't bother opening it again.

Try using another program to get full SMART stats of the drive (i.e. CrystalMarkInfo etc) and post back.

If the SSD fails you won't need to "buy another" as Samsung will sort it out SSD's are so much better than HDD's and if they were cheaper I'd replace all my HDDs with SSDs.

Hi YarwoodUK---I changed the "Max Reliability" to "Max Performance" and it gave me a BSOD as it did twice before a few months ago. Anyway, PC resarted and lo n behold, it showed "Drive Health Good". So whatever Samsung has done with this new program, they need to redo it. This Samsung Magician must be messing up a lot of peoples ssd's.
I popped into their UK site, and begads, it is a Nightmare if you have to claim for another ssd. So, No more Samsung ssd for me.
I have the "CrystalDiskMarkInfo" & the AS SSD Benchmark, but neither gives you the opportunity to do a "Max Reliability" etc. Mind You, me thinks these programs that do give you the Max Performance etc. are just a waste of time, going by what this Magician is doing. So I shall leave well alone from now on.
Take Care.
