    Is my SSD dying??


    I have a 500 GB samsung ssd and for some reason i can only download only 90+ gb of files before my disk usage spikes up to 100% and after a few seconds that it does that, i get a blue screen which you cant fix without reinstalling windows, im getting real tired of this crap because this is like, i dont know the 27th time ive reinstalled windows because of it? There doesnt seem to be any bad sectors and tried searching on the internet if i can get an answer but nothing helped, does anyone know the fix to this? Also i forgot to mention that the first time i installed this ssd into my laptop it wasnt like this and i could download up to 200 to 300 gb worth of files without any problems. If anyone knows what the fix to this is can you please help me out, thanks.

    Hello @p3q9,

    As a start, please post a screenshot of your Disk Management.

    Make sure that ALL the text in ALL the columns is visible and showing the whole window.

    Now UPLOAD a screenshot of your partitions using one of the following methods . . .

    Download extract and run Crystal disk info .
    With the snipping tool take a snapshot and paste here as an attachment.

    Did you run chkdsk C: /f ?

    You should make a drive image backup and store on an external drive. Instead of reinstalling you recover from the image.

    Should the above given solutions does not solve your problem. Try using this samsung ssd on your laptop to verify if it's
    a ssd failure. My ssd also just failed without any notice.

    I once had a Mushkin SSD fail on me, no notice, just zappo, dead. Then one of my friends said something like, "Don't you know that Mushkin is a crap brand?" I did not, but I have avoided them ever since. There are some great brands out there, and not just Samsung.

    You should run check disk offline.
    Open a CMD window as administrator and type:
    chkdsk c: /f
    It will say your disk is in use and ask if you want to schedule to next start = yes
    Restart

    Pay attention on the results.
