Windows 10: chkdsk on ssd

Good morning,

I have a question that seems fairly straight forward to me and it should only have one answer, namely 'yes' or 'no'.

Is it safe to run chkdsk on a SSD? I have read that it 'breaks down' the file directory? Is this true?

Please ignore the 'category'; I have selected Bing because there is nothing on the list that comes even close to my question and it is a mandatory field.

Kind regards,

IvoMI

chkdsk c: /F

It might be an error on the drive. We suggests that you follow the troubleshooting steps below:

• Run Disk Cleanup utility to clear your junk files.
• Open an elevated CMD type sfc /scannow and hit Enter to run the System File Checker.
  
• Once the scan is completed, restart your computer. Remember to exit ChkDsk
  during boot.
• Next, again open CMD as admin type
  Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and hit Enter to repair the Windows image.
• Now see if ChkDsk able to complete the scan.

Note: Before doing the steps, make sure you save a back up of your files.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Can chkdsk /r ruin an SSD?

I use chkdsk in SSD no issues.

But don't defragment the SSD.

Dont enable prefetch in SSD.

Download the SSD monitor tool from ssd manufacturer website, then install , check the health status of ssd.

I think yous ssd might be safe
