Hello there!

I'm figuring out what is the cause of file corruption on a Kingston SV500 240GB SSD. If you want to find out one four occurances of the SSD corrupting files, see the thread below:

PC won't boot - Windows files corrupted (possibly found the culprit?)

Hello! This is not my PC that I put 11 on it even it is incompatible, the PC I'm referring here is my recent modern (but not new) PC that runs 11 without issues. When I put files on it, sometimes other files just corrupted. I experienced 4 of the same issue, PC won't boot. 1st issue: Apps does...

What software(s) I can use to figure out what the cause of file corruption on this SSD?
I also note that it isn't storage space problems, because I formatted the SSD, installed Visual Studio 2022 on it, and a few days ago, Visual Studio does not run. When I did a full reinstall on a other SSD, installation fails and says "The file is corrupted or unreadable.", and had to format the SSD again to reinstall VS on another drive.
Also note that Kingston's SSD manager didn't recognize the SSD.

Have you checked the NTFS file system corruption with Chkdsk C: /f command?

Code: 
E:\>chkdsk E: /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process.  Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) y
Volume dismounted.  All opened handles to this volume are now invalid.

Hello JB.

Corruption could have been created by the OS, so may have nothing to do with the health of the SSD. Or it may be the SSD itself that's failing.

What makes you describe the disk as "healthy" if the Kingston SSD manager can't see it? Can CrystalDisk Info read its SMART data? If so, how many terabytes have been written to it?

I don't recognise the SSD either, nor can I find it on Kingston's website. There is a Kingston SUV500 240GB SSD however, that has a TBW of 100TB.

If you can read the SMART data a healthy SSD should have a raw values of zero for both the Reallocated Sector Count and the Pending Sector Count, does yours?

That is leaning towards the corruption being a software error rather than a hardware fault....

It is actually a SUV500. I forgot the naming scheme again.

It didn't happen again when I changed the boot device to the SSD of my old PC.
