I am having issues with an older Intel SSD. This is where I am up to.
This is the second SSD in as many days giving me grief. The other SSD issue was posted on another site.
I should have posted it here on Free PC Help Forum.
I tried to clone this SSD drive onto another spinner. A WD Blue.
Wouldn't clone. Gave me an error "MFT corrupt- Error Code 6".
First I used "DUMo" for a diagnostic. Results said SSD was bad, likely to fail, export all onto another drive quickly.
Next I used Intel's own diagostic and came back all good with green tick.
Where to go from here so I run CHKDSK C: only to find any issues with this drive.
Results Volume Bitmap is incorrect.
Then run CHKDSK C: /r
Results Failed to repair
Then run CHKDSK C: / f
Results Clean bill of health.
It is obvious Intel's own diagnostic can't be trusted.
My thoughts this Intel SSD is too risky to have an OS on and should be turfed. (Out of warranty)
In this case "DUMo" got it right and Intel got it wrong. Most techies say only trust the manufacturer.
I went out today and bought another Samsung 850 EVO 250 GIG.
What would you have done in this case? I believe I have picked the correct solution.
