Can not clone CT1000MX500SSD1

Thread solved

I just purchased the SSD to replace my existing desktop hard drive.

I formatted the SSD and then, using Acronis True Image, I proceeded to clone the drive.  After a short time I got the following message.  I did a chkdsk on my computer and it did not find any problems.

I have a feeling that I have an issue with the hard drive but not sure how to proceed.

Thanks....

Lloyd, welcome to these public User Forums.

This type of error can occur in any part of the disk drive including in the hidden / system partitions that cannot be checked by CHKDSK unless you assign drive letters to them.

Dedicated diagnostic utilities from the disk manufacturers take the longest time to complete the checks, but provide the most accurate methods of checking whether the disk is good or needs replacement:

 - Western Digital drives: Western Digital Dashboard

 - Seagate disks: SeaTools for Windows

 - HGST disks: HGST Windows Drive Fitness Test (WinDFT)

 - Intel SSDs: Intel Memory and Storage Tool (GUI)

 - Samsung drives: Samsung Magician

 - ADATA drives: ADATA SSD ToolBox

 - Kingston SSDs: Kingston SSD Toolbox, Kingston SSD Manager

 - Transcend SSDs: Transcend SSD Scope

 - Silicon Power disks: SP ToolBox

 - Toshiba disks: Toshiba PC Diagnostic Tool Utility

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the great information.  Well, the hard drive finally died so I think this was the problem not being able to clone the drive!

Best regards,
