2 SSDs failed on my B350 Board

[StevenFromSerbia]

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.

Hello StevenFromSerbia,

 

Definitely check the  power source, the fact that this began to happen after the storm points to voltage problems.

The cheap crap doesnt usually have any protection in it, so the storm probably broke something inside your psu, replace it asap.

 

I dont get it why you would cheap out on the one component in your pc that can just kill all your other components in an instant.

The problem is that PSUs in Serbia are not cheap. Cooler Master is $80 USD with non modular cables. And semi modular is around $120 USD. And at the time the money was a tight fit for me. 

 

Will change it as fast as I get my budget in order.

Hopefully they will replace the units again, but if this is an on going I wouldn't do anything until the voltage problem gets solved.
