Hi guys,
I am new to the forum, sorry if someone had a similar problem with this, I will post my story.
I have a problem with SSDs, both units that I had and I have now are having the same problem. (See picture from HDD Sentinel) The first drive I had was a TeamGroup one 120gb, which I returned because boot times were around 3-4 minutes. They returned the money and all was good. I did not try to look into the problem that much. I thought it was a flawed drive.
But I now have Western Digital Green WDS240G2G0B, which is m.2 SSD. And he failed too.(By failed I mean boot time is 1.5 - 2 mins) So I have a couple of questions and scenarios, and I would be grateful if you can try to find an answer or solution with me.
-It says that the power supply line might not be good. I have a 80Plus Bronze PSU from a company named "MS Industrial". Could this be the problem? Also have some cable extensions that I bought online. Maybe they can be a problem?
-After one thunderstorm and a power outage, problems with m.2 SSD started happening, should I get UPS or some other kind of protection for my computer? I am almost definitely sure that this is what caused these problems.
- I have B350 Tomahawk MSI MB, AMD 1600X processor, 8GB of TeamGroup RAM, GTX 1050TI 4GB Asus card.
-I checked everything in BIOS and everything else seems to be working fine.
Please let me know. Guys from the PC store are going to think I am destroying them on purpose, cause this would be a second drive I am returning.
