We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule


I am sure this is going to be the wrong thread but hey it has smart goons and SSDs:

My Gigabyte 240GB SSD is borked. Please advise if there is a way to get it working again (I don't care about data, only to see if I can get it operational)

It shows in Disk Management but when trying to initialize it will disconnect and reconnect:

Before anyone asks... yes it's Disc 16. That isn't something funky. I have a D2600 connected doing PLEX things.


Some errors in Event Viewer for those that might be smart enough to help:









A GUI partition error checker fucken HATES it and its at time of posting almost 12 hours into a quick scan:


Diskpart causes it to crash on initial read (same wsort of errors as above in Event Viewer). Background is that this SSD was a primary boot drive for a bog standard Win10 install. It's not even old enough to have issues IMO, poo poo I still have an OCZ SSD running fine - that company doesnt even exist anymore?!

Look at it with CrystalDiskInfo and see what that says. Post a screenshot if you need help interpreting the different values.

Also, if you have another PC to try it with (or an external usb caddy) that's always a good troubleshooting step with possibly-busted drives.


Could be that it got a bad batch of nand and is already failing out. That sometimes happens, and is a reason that some people prefer to buy SSDs from companies that make their own flash (samsung, WD/sandisk, crucial, & now sk hynix).

I think this thing is cooked (running over a USB hub)



Oh and this isn't first computer I've tried, just my nerd station.
