Windows 10: Computer crashing when trying to write to Samsung 970 Evo NVMe drive

/u/Cyribro · Mar 26, 2021

Hello there!

I've gone over this with the manufacturer so many times now, we've been going back and forth for like a month. I've installed two Addlink drives and now two different Samsung 970 drives. I've even had the MOBO replaced.

Before I was receiving an error that I was unable to write to the drive was write protected and the drive would drop off the volumes list. Literally ANY TIME I tried to use Disk Manager to format and write to the drive, something would break.

From there I downloaded the AOMEI Partition Assistant and was able to actually format the drive and get it to stick without crashing.

From there I created some folders in that drive as a test. No issue.

After that I decided I was going to move ALL my game launchers library to the drive.

I've attempted to download Overwatch, no dice. I somehow managed to download Hearthstone, but I had to force shut down my laptop multiple times and restart the download in order to get the game installed.

So I tried Steam again, first I started moving over games I already had installed. Same issue, had to force shut down the lapotop and then restart it again and pray that the files moved over and I could validate them. So I tried to download a game that was still in beta, for whatever reason that one worked out okay.

I dug around on here and realized that there was an issue with larger files being written to NVMe drives after the last update. So I waited a couple of days trying to see if the following update would fix the issue. Again, I am unable to write to that drive.

I've tried running check disk on it from both CMD(admin) AND AOMEI Partition Assistant and the drive itself has NO BAD SECTORS.

I've ran checks on my RAM, no issues there either. I've checked the logs and see that there IS a disk error which is: The IO operation at logical block address 0x26f6eb0 for Disk 2 (PDO name: \Device\00000057) was retried.

I've sent this to the manufacturer and they keep telling me that it's the drive that's the issue, but to seriously go through 4 different drives? Somehow that doesn't sit right with me.

Can someone PLEASE help me with this? I've spent $2200 on a laptop and I just need a way to convince the company that they need to fix my computer (since it's still under warranty).

My Specs are:

Windows 10: Home Edition - Version: 20H2 - Build: 19042.870 - Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.550.0

Clevo / Sager NP7958F1

Ryzen 9 3600

16GB Single RAM Stick

NVidia RTX 2070

Samsung introduces the Samsung 970 PRO and EVO NVMe M.2 SSDs

New 970 series enables high-performance computing through enhanced speed, exceptional endurance and system design flexibility

BRQISBdwOvs

Samsung Electronics, today introduced the Samsung 970 PRO and EVO, the third generation of its industry-leading consumer solid state drive (SSD) lineup. Having led the market with the first consumer-focused NVMe SSD in 2015, Samsung continues to push the performance barriers with this latest generation of SSDs that are built for tech enthusiasts and professionals so that they can enjoy higher bandwidth for intensive workloads on PCs and workstations.

“Samsung has led the NVMe SSD industry since its inception, and the company continues to define the latest standards of consumer storage with unprecedented performance of the 970 PRO and EVO SSDs,” said Un-Soo Kim, senior vice president of Brand Product Marketing, Memory Business at Samsung Electronics. “The 970 series sets a new bar in all aspects for the NVMe SSD market with groundbreaking performance, superior reliability and best-in-class capacity.”

The Samsung 970 PRO and EVO are designed based on the M.2 form factor standard and with the latest PCIe Gen 3×4 lane interface. The 970 series maximizes the potential of NVMe bandwidth, delivering unparalleled performance for processing large volumes of data, including 3D, 4K graphics work, high-end games and data analytics.

The 970 PRO enables sequential read speed of up to 3,500 MB/s and sequential write speed of up to 2,700 MB/s1, while the EVO features sequential read speed of up to 3,500 MB/s and sequential write speed of up to 2,500 MB/s2. The sequential write speeds represent an enhancement of up to 30 percent over the previous generation3, thanks to Samsung’s latest V-NAND technology and the newly designed Phoenix controller. The 970 EVO, in particular, utilizes the Intelligent TurboWrite technology, which uses a large buffer size of up to 78GB4 to enable faster write speeds.

In addition to the advancements in performance levels, the 970 PRO and EVO deliver exceptional endurance and reliability. Featuring a five-year warranty5, or up to 1,200 terabytes written6 – 50 percent higher than those provided for the previous generation7 – the 970 PRO and EVO are built to last. The Dynamic Thermal Guard technology safeguards against overheating by automatically monitoring and maintaining optimal operating temperatures, while a heat spreader and new nickel-coated controller further lower the SSD temperatures.

The 970 PRO and EVO also provide greater system design flexibility for the high-performance computing systems. Offering a variety of high capacity options in a compact M.2 form factor – including the single-sided 2TB EVO model – the 970 series enables convenient storage expansion across a wide range of computing devices.

The 970 EVO will be offered in 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and 2TB8 capacities, and the 970 PRO in 512GB and 1TB capacities. The 970 PRO and EVO will be available for purchase worldwide starting May 7, 2018, with manufacturer’s suggested retail prices starting at $329.99 and $119.99 USD, respectively.
