True Image fails to read my drive and clone
I have a bx500 in my Dell Inspiron laptop... normally I auto back up every day using synology to my NAS.
A couple of weeks ago backups started to fail - cause said in (windows 10 logs) it was bad blocks!
Crucial Storage Executive software says its still 100% healthy and chkdsk and sfc etc., can't find anything wrong... though I notice the laptop is slower and hangs a lot . (all the usual temp folders clean and diskclean up stuff and virus scan been done)
So I have purchased a new bx500 but Acronis True image fails on every attempt to clone to this new ssd.
Sticks at stage 4 for several hours about at about 5% complete.
Anyone got any suggestions?

I don’t know how to get support from Acronis as it says I have register product 1st but the software comes with Crucial
Thanks
David

Thanks Steve for you speedy and very helpful knowledgeable reply.
I think you are 100% right - the bad blocks must be in the unseen part of the ssd so-to-speak.
Even though cloning was stuck at a few % every attempt, it seems it had miraculously cloned it 100% after all, except for the boot efi thingy. So I thought I would try installing it anyway and hey presto (after windows did it boot repair thing), it fires up perfectly.
I will, however, certainly try the things you have suggested as I would ideally like to return the old drive as still under warranty. Pity Crucial are so funny about not sending out a replacement ssd, till they get the old one back – hence had to purchase a new one.
Thanks again for you excellent help...very happy not to have to reinstall from scratch :-)
PS. I have a 2nd forum post re: downloading and loggin in problem. But (to be clear) they are issues i have from a different laptop... but annoying all the same
