Last week, I ordered a drive from MDD, a RunCore 128GB SATA drive. I made an image of my current drive then when i went to load the image on the RunCore it got to about 90% and failed because it couldnt write to a sector. Not only could it not write to a sector, but the drive disappeared, i had to put it in the usb caddy for the computer to recognize it again. I tried to search the internet for SSD diagnostic tools, there are none. There are some for flash drives but the flash drive utility wont test the RunCore :-\ Anyway I tried to load the images a few more times, did some stuff with hex editor, etc etc. Still doesnt work, I had to RMA it. I get the new drive tommorrow. I will post how that goes
I read on the RunCore website where it does some state of the art block mapping to locate and record bad sectors and what not. Well if they do that when they manufacture the drive....Why did this happen?
I think a good idea for RunCore would be to release some kind of SSD diagnostic utility so that users can read AND write test their drive. Are you listening RunCore?? You could be SSD diagnostic pioneers!
Phase 2 of that would be if a bad block was found to update the firmware with that information so that it wouldnt be used again.
Just random thoughts I had after searching the internet for hours hoping I could find something to revive my new SSD
