    The only thing it lack is USB-3.2 on the front face but it has 3.0 on the back
There are multiple types of drive tests.

Long and short generic
Long and short DST (drive self test)
Surface / error tests
SMART tests
etc.


A drive can fail one test and pass on others.


Every test has its tradeoffs between comprehensiveness and speed.


The Long generic test is commonly used for warranty replacement.



The Sea Tools software runs on most drives.

It is one of the most comprehensive drive tests.


Samsung has drive testing software (Magician) for many but not all of their drives.

It appears to perform surface and smart tests without Long or short generic tests.

In Ten Forum threads there were drives that had passed Samsung Magician that had problems detected by HD Tune.

Macrorit error scans also had differing results from HD Tune.



Dell, HP, and Lenovo have hardware diagnostic software that typically run the Long and short DST.



The software GSmart Control is excellent testing software running the long generic test but it may not identify some drives.



HD Sentinel free version has GUI results and text results.

It runs instantaneous SMART which attempts to predict drive failure.

It automatically relocates bad areas which can be missed. (the text reports are rarely viewed when GUI is immediately available)

2) Run Sea Tools Long generic test (all drives) > post images or share links
Click to expand...

I figured it would pass as I tested all my drives last week but not with SeaTools but I would rather not test all 6 of my drives again, it takes a long time for this test.

The Sea Tools tests can run overnight while sleeping.

Running chkdsk switches before other drive tests on occasion may be related to data loss.

On the above drive, which had created found
( Lost and found is located at \found.000),
the chkdsk deeper switches can run to recheck the drive.

All the errors chkdsk found were logical errors, that is the data in the SSD can be read perfectly, but the data itself is incorrect. There is nothing to suspect that the SSD is at fault, rather the OS has written corrupt data to it. This could happen, for example, if the system crashed while writing to the drive, or with cached data yet to be written.

To see the health of the SSD, look at its SMART data. You can see this in your HD Sentinel, or with CrystalDiskInfo. Look for anything related to data errors, or Reallocated Sectors. Different manufacturers may use a different set of SMART entries, but there will always be something that records data errors. The raw values for all of these should be zero. If they are, then you can be confident that the SSD is sound and that it wasn't responsible for the errors.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

Thanks, All the line items that should be zero are zero with Good 99%

The only drive I have that has any errors is my HDD backup drive and I now cloned that drive just in case
