sw malfunction? #13
Description
I am trying to find a dependable and trustable sw for testing storage, either spinning, usb or SSD... not found yet, some look good but do not work with usb sticks, other not recognize ssds etc.
Best up to now is H2testw but has its issues.
Testing stressdisk....
I used the stressdisk with a USB connected half giga SSD. Windows 10 2004 x64. Several times. Full format between tests.
Did it in a unit that H2testw had no issue with it.
Had systematically two issues
a) created files are 954MB (1GiB?). as to the last end available space is less (774MB) stressdisk issues an error message, probably unrelated to media error.

2020/11/23 11:09:20 Reading file "o:TST_0468", "o:TST_0129"
b) after having read almost ten times the storage (5111GB read), I get the error:
"Error while reading "o:TST_0099": read o:TST_0099: A device which does not exist was specified
then, stressdisk ends
TST_0099 had been read 9 times before without issue...
Operating system shows device, no issue... I can delete files, format it, and use it normally.
Similar outcome in the other stressdisk tests.
First one looks as a kind of bug.
Second one is weird.... could be perhaps a heating issue? could be a wrong message? could be a bug?
Otherwise, media looks working properly...
