Windows 10: Is my SSD bad?

2.5" SATA 1TB Samsung 860 evo. I originally bought it for a laptop ~6 months ago. Laptop experienced a hardware failure (either bad SATA controller or bad connectors from drive bays to controller I believe - can give more info on the symptoms of that failure if you think its relavent) I've since replaced the laptop and installed the SSD in my son's desktop. The problem now is, whenever his desktop experiences a loss of power (power outage or hard shut down to change a HW component, etc) the SSD will fail to boot after powering back up, has happened twice now. I can recover all of the data from another PC, but the partitions are recognized by disk part as "raw". I can boot in to the recovery environment from the drive but all recovery options fail. So far recovering data manually and then using the "clean" function in disk part and then starting over with a clean install has been my only available course of action. After that, the drive works perfectly and has no issue with normal W10 shut down and start up, and restart actions. It is only a total loss of power.

Is this SSD toast? Did the laptop failure damage the drive? Or maybe conversely could a bad SSD cause a HW failure in the laptop?

I ordered a GPU upgrade for my son but I wont be home to help him install it. This will be his first time making a upgrade on his own(11 yo) and I'm worried he'll run in to a huge problem if the SSD wont boot when he's finished. I'm also out of town working now, so troubleshooting the drive directly isnt possible until this weekend (I know, not ideal to be posting without active access to the HW)

Any thoughts or speculations would be appreciated.

Is an SSD Drive Bad for Gaming?


Is it true that an SSD for gaming is a bad idea? I was told that constantly downloading games to it can wear down and shorten its life. It was then suggested that I buy a mechanical HD instead.

What do you guys think of this?

 

SSD Crucial Bx 100 - rattling/vibrating. Possible?

This has been suggested several times already, and it has been suggested you try to move the SSD, remove it, or even suspend it in your case. Will you please try one of these?

If you don't understand vibration and resonance, please refer to @dorsetknob 's post above. *Smile It has been explained that something else moving/vibrating (even if you don't think they're vibrating they are...), fans, hard disk drives, and anything with a motor will cause some form of vibration at certain frequencies. This can be transfered through your case's chassis and where you mounted your SSD could be reaching a certain frequency that causes it to slightly move and rattle against the case.

We are suggesting you take action and report back..you keep asking questions from step 1...we should be on step 4 by now...that is solution.

Try what has been suggested and report back please. Otherwise all you're doing is leading this thread in an endless circle and the help will stop shortly thereafter.
