SSD problem broken?

Eddyke1 · Mar 23, 2016

My old 128 GB sandisk had issues when i was heavy downloading 11mb/s. My windows was stuttering and the download just shut down and start again in a infinite loop and impossible to do other stuff ( Browsing web and stuff).

I got a new SSD today Samsung SSD 850 EVO 2.5", 500GB and have no problems at all i use it as D drive and download games on it.

Still use my windows on the sandisk drive because i have no issues with it when not downloading on that drive... Is it broken? Or anyone knows the problem?

Might buy another Samsung SSD 850 EVO 2.5", 500GB for C drive and toss this sandisk away iff its broken, anyone got ideas?

Could be bad sectors, or another type of failure. If you haven't done so already, I'd look at making an immediate backup of any files you need off of it.

You may want to run a S.M.A.R.T check on it using a utility such as CrystalDisk Info to see what it says.

I would ditch the Sandisk and run 2 EVO's.

A windows 120gb ssd will fill up quickly, leaving few open nand blocks.
That causes a performance problem in the scenario you described.
It is not broken, but is not capable of handling the continuous write load you are putting on it.

I think the algorithms from Samsung controllers are better, and the more nand blocks will solve your problem.
Likely, even 240gb would do it.
