How can I check an SSD to see if it has faults? Using the normal programs? (which I’m not sure which they are!)
I ask because the other day my SSD didn’t appear in BIOS so I was unable to boot into Windows (though linux on the standard hard drive was fine) - a few reboots and then it booted fine into Windows. From there on in, I’ve had nothing but hassle from Windows - this morning, I tried to open Chrome and was told a file or files were corrupt and couldn’t open. I then booted into linux (and it took Windows about 10 or 15 minutes to shutdown - I had a shower and made a cuppa and came back as it was still hsutting down). I was unable to delete the file from Linux and then rebooted into Windows (or at least tried, as it wouldn’t start).
This evening I ran startup recovery and it said master system corrupt or something and couldn’t repair - it then continued to boot into Windows where everything promptly wouldn’t run etc and shutdown was impossible.
Tomorrow, I’ll install Windows again but I want to check the SSD for errors etc - how can I check and see if it’s a duffer? Ideally needs to be done soon as I have a LAN this coming weekend!!
