I got this 2 years old Silicon Power 2TB (SP002TBP34A60M28) that when I play a heavy game Marvel Rivals for example will disconnect itself? then windows still let me see the driver but i cant see photos or start the game again this is a drive just for game and photos. Using the Silicon Power Toolbox, Crystaldiskinfo or hwinfo64 shows that the drive has 100% health. Also I format the drive using the cmd. I already tried changing the slot of the drive, updating the motherboard bios, updating windows

windows event viwers throws these errors

Unexpected failure. Error code: 1B1@01010003

The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: D:, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume6.

An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation.

{Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file D:\$Mft. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.


My specs:
R5 7600
RTX 3080 driver 566.36
b850m x wifi asrock bios 3.25
32gb silicon power 6000mts
sn770 1Tb (OS drive)
 
If You could add the psu, cause many disk failures are in reality psu failures.
 
What is your drive temperature when that happens?

28c idle and 36 to 40 while gaming never went close to 50c

Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 850W PS-TPD-0850FNFAGU-1

I made a partitions for 1tb on the "bad drive" and I couldnt make it to crash while gaming/ downloading and isntalling games I tried for about 5 hours straitgt, maybe is the OS on the main drive that got corrupted? Im going to re intall windows and see how it goes
 
Similar thing happened with my Corsair MP600 LPX drive. HDsentiniel showed question marks on the drive and when I tried to open the drive from My PC, it gave me an error "The device specified does not exist". Resultantly, had to restart which brought back the drive alive. Still could not figure out the issue.
 
im going to try that next

ok so after reinstalling windows seems like it was working till midnight where I got this
the disk didnt show on crystal disk again, windows still show the disk and I could still play the game but withe the serialization error on my screen

I saw a post about a 24pin extension causing this error, now I unplug and plug all the cables and make sure they were well seated, is there any voltage that i should be looking?

I know the message says corrupt data found but I did a scanner with windows cmd, and silicon power toolbox and I didnt found anything
 
Idk why but my gut tells me ram. Can you try gaming with jedec speeds VS docp/xmp enabled?

Other than that, maybe the controller needs drivers or are going bad on the motherboard.

RMA if possible.

Have a CRAS that did the same thing until it died. Controller/firmware is borked. :(
 
Yup I'm with @nomdeplume, looks like a busted controller. It'll be transparent and drive you insane, happens sometimes and SMART doesn't catch it :(

If the replacement drive continues to show the same symptoms, look at RAM etc. as suggested, but do RMA because it's not worth trusting your data to a potentially unreliable drive

Do you know where can I get drivers for the drive? I didnt find anything in the silicon power website

if it keeps happening thats what im going to do, right know after reseating all the cables hasnt crash and the worst part is that i cant force it to crash playing the same games it just happens. Also silicon power dosent provide prepaid lables so its going to be like 20$ for shipping i rather put that money into a m.2 with dram and a more trustable brand and that is if they manage to recreate the problem if not is just a waste of money

is there an app like memtest86 for ssd's? I did the memtest86 when i got the ram and passed everything

Great if reseating the cables fixes it.

Can you show us a screenshot of SMART info from CrystaDiskInfo. Guessing you have a ton of Unsafe Shutdown and a few other errors.

Yeah, the Crystal Disk tools (Info and Mark), but if the controller is shutting down intermittently, it's not gonna be able to do much for you. If you can provide the screenshot requested, it will help figuring something out. Here's mine for reference

Nothing immediately apparent with the drive, as I suspected. If it's really intermittent controller issues, these won't get picked up by SMART data, so Crystal isn't going to be much use. What it can tell you is if it's overheating, so try moving some files and keep an eye on that. If the drive just randomly shuts down, it's really RMA time I reckon

overheating is consider above 70c right? at least on the silicon power it says 0-70c, the drive is always under 60 at idle i think is 28, it dosent help much my gpu consuming 300w on a lian li a3

I'd say beyond that point, but controller shouldn't shut down unless it's getting much hotter than that. It's worth keeping an eye on nonetheless
 
That drive has over 3,500 errors logged. I’ve never seen anything that high.
 
My first instinct went towards controller and eventual drive failure with good reason. Expect OS drive will stop collecting shutdown errors once this drive is removed. Heat of the kind recorded by SMART doesn't appear to be the issue.

Replacement without paying shipping only to potentially be told to get stuffed is understandable. I would immediately remove this drive regardless of the direction you go.

are those error the same that appear on windows event viewer? I assume that they are a lot trying to write while playing thats when the drive stop working and everything that was goin to get written got cancel? Im guessing because the An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation. appear a lot on the event viewer when that happened

No, those are internal drive errors.

Motherboard drivers.

thats the weird part I used as a OS drive that i tought that would put more stress on the drive and it didnt crash i with i used more time like that

the drive was like 60$ i dont mind buy a 1tb for that price with dram I never got this fill this drive anywhere close to 2tb or 1.5
 
I, and especially dro, get world economy is not always consumer friendly. Better to remove it and recycle or whatever than deal with system errors.

Get a decent M.2 or other SSD.
