I have two 2TB Samsung EVO SSDs, one in my main system and the other used for backups (clones) as an attached external SSD. Samsung Magician reports TBW in the internal drive but not the external drive (used for cloning). Anyone know of any software that will report TBW on both? Magician doesn't. Thanks.

The reliability of hard drives and SSDs is far from ideal - sooner or later, they fail, leading to serious problems, up to complete loss of the data stored on them. Of course, in most cases, the information (fully or partially) on the externally "dead" hard drives can be recovered, but you will need to turn to professionals. |  |  |

You can try to solve this problem yourself, but not the fact that you will succeed.
