CHKDSK usage with a Intel SSD

Modern solid state drives do not require the Microsoft Windows 7 chkdsk feature.

SSD's are different than hard disk drives. SSD's automatically remap worn bits using wear leveling technology.

ok.... So it's not okay to use Windows disk check in conjuntion with the" intel SSD tool box"?

I don't know it it'll even work on an SSD.

I know that Windows 7 "turns off" defrag on a SSD. DOn't know about Check Disk.

Nice to know.

Thanks Johnny,

it was one of those nagging thoughts that I have asked other hardware freaks

But they dont know the answer or it is mixed yes no maybe , but no one knows for sure without a question.

I need to make a correction.

The part about partitioning and MTF not being the same as a standard magnetic drive is incorrect. The actual problem is probably the difficulty of identifying bad blocks on an ssd.

hmm......thanks

Another correction.

What I should have posted is that it is not necessary to run chkdsk because modern ssd's have a built in self-correcting feature.

I was researching this thinking I had a hard drive problem which I might still have but I figured I would run this by you and see if you had any suggestions.

I have an Intel i7 3770k Quad Core on an Asus Sabertooth z77 Motherboard with 16 gb Ram. I have a Crucial M4 SSD and a WD TB drive running Windows 7 64 bit Professional.

Recently when turning on my computer I thought it was locking up on the sign in screen so I rebooted it and it would let me sign in. I realized recently that it was not actually locked up permanently, that if I was patient and waited 30-60 seconds it would work fine and continue to work fine. When I am typing the password, sometimes the dots show up and sometimes they do not but either way within a minute I am signed in.

Any suggestions? This is really annoying and I am at a loss.
