I have a FM-25S2I-64GBFII 64gb Falcon II drive which GSkill supplied as a warranty replacement about a year ago or less of my previous 64gb SSD which stopped working. This drive now apears to be going bad.
When I run a Read Scan on the drive with HDtune it reads upto 10.5gb into the drive then freezes, once it freezes the drive no longer responds and the system eventually hangs.
The SMART show a bunch of figures
01 Raw Read Error Rate is 5
09 Power On Hours Count is 67
C6 Offline Uncorrectable (the number keep changing)
C7 Ultra DMA CRC Error Count (the numbers keep changing)
C8 Write Error Rate (the numbers keep changing)
C9 TA Counter Detected (the numbers keep changing)
CA TA Counter Increased (the numbers keep changing)
CB Run Out Increased (the numbers keep changing)
The SMART status still shows OK, so how do I determine if the drive is faulty apart from it locking up a lot.
Also can I ZERO the drive safely and will it do anything good or bad ?.
Only getting a year out of an SSD drive isn't very good. I have swap file, temp folders, internet temp on a RAM Drive so this drive has had less use then it would if I left all the temp folders on the drive.
