Windows 10: Samsung 1 Tb backup drive has stopped functioning with Drive Manager

I am running Windows 10 on a fast, powerful desktop computer I built myself when I was (until March 2018) Comp TIA A+ quailified.
I just did a fresh installation of Windows 10 because it had become corrupted.
Now I tried to run Drive Manager for the first time since June (when I discovered I could not get any Windows updates).
Drive manager now hangs and won't perform the "backup" function.
Trying to get this to work by restarting the software and attempting to disconnect and reconnect the drive, then attempting to restart, induced a BSOD.


I'm not sure I even need this external backup drive any more, since I have Microsoft One Drive and Dropbox performing 'live' cloud backups of every new file I create on my HDD.

I reformatted the exernal drive but still no luck. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Drive Manager.
After this the drive does not appear in Drive Manager any more.
It does still appear in Windows Explorer however.

Why has Drive Manager stopped working suddenly and how can I get it working again?

Samsung SSD Drive Stopped in Window 10

I have a Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10. I am using a Samsung T1 Portable 1 TB USB 3.0 External SSD (MU-PS1T0B/AM).

The drive worked fine on the unit and now stops (powers down) and Windows 10 freezes completely; only hard reboot possible.

Here's what I know.

1. The SSD drive works in other Windows 7 machines

2. The SSD drive works in other Windows 10 machines

3. The SSD driver works fine when run in Safe Mode on the Surface pro

4. Other hard drives and flash disks work fine on Surface pro

4. I tried the troubleshooting hardware tool, no issues found

5. I uninstalled the latest Windows Update 6/29/2016, but it did not change outcome

6. I uninstalled the USB drivers in device manager and they auto-installed on reboot, did not change outcome.

7. There is no information on the Samsung or Microsoft sites suggesting issues with this drive.

Any other thoughts on what I might try to locate the conflict with the SSD device?

Thx

Windows only sees one of the 1 TB hard drives insted of 3 hard drives

When I open file manager and go to this pc it does not show the drive.

In the bottom half of disk management both 1 TB drives are present but only one has a Drive letter assigned to it. Only one Of the 1 TB drives shows in the upper half.

It is a generic tower that I built from scratch many years ago. It has an Asus M2N-SLI motherboard with an AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core processor with 8 GB ram.
