• Game won't stop crashing on PC, any help is appreciated.

  Try running a drive test on the drive. It's possible it's bad (yes, it can come bad even if it's brand new, actually new hardware tends to have a higher fail rate then midlife span hardware). You can use a tool like HDDScan. Source: 4 months ago

• HDD not accessible suddenly?

  As a first step I'd recommend that you run HDDScan against your HDD. Source: 10 months ago

• PS3 stuck at restoring

  The issue is that files became corrupted, resulting in it needing to check the file system. If you have a hard drive enclosure, I would recommend using the enclosure to connect the drive to a computer, and running a drive diagnostic utility. GSmartControl is a great free program for checking the drive for physical damage. HDDScan can show you where there are bad sectors on the drive. If you’re feeling adventurous,...

• Look at this pc i found thrown away. Yes those are all 4tb hdds so 16tb total. Time to download my entire steam library on these puppies : D

  Smart diagnostics can be done with drive manufacturer's utilities, or a number of third-party utilities, such as hddscan for windows. Some major brand oem systems (such as dell, hp) have diagnostics baked into the motherboard firmware that can do these tests as part of its overall diagnostics test suite. Source: about 1 year ago

• 3TB of Storage success

  u/TheBigPete Favor to ask of you that would be tremendously appreciated! Can you do a clean restart and quit all background running applications? Once done, launch (install if need be), CrystalDiskMark (https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/) and run a standard speed test on your SN740. If you can attach a screenshot of the performance results, it'd be amazing! Source: 10 months ago

• SSD drive download speed

  What’s the utilization of the SSD when you download things? You can see it in task manager and it will just give a percentage from 0% - 100%. It could be that your download is slow purely because the SSD can’t write fast enough. What is the SSD too such as brand, capacity, etc. As some SSD’s are just fake. Just making sure that’s not the case! You can also check the Read/Write speed of the SSD using something like... Source: 11 months ago

• Go Pro Hero 7 White keeps stopping recordings

  Download Chrystaldiskmark and check the write speed, and then you'll have a better understanding of what's going on. Source: 11 months ago

• Problem with modpack disk usage

  How old is it? In task manager, sort the processes by disk usage to see if something is hogging the drive. Also may be worth running a benchmark for the SSD to see if its even running as one would expect. CrystalDiskMark is a good utility that is easy to use. https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/. Source: 11 months ago
