Do any research on the SSDs or the computer you got? Might be an answer out there.

Never bothered with SSDs - have only had one HD crash and that was from a off-balance CD that shook it to death in short order - current HD is 8 years old and humming smooth.

If the computer was an older model, it's likley the BIOS needed to be updated to be able to accepts all the Win10 updates - I hjave a year+ old laptop that I had to do some BIOS updates on to make it fully compatible with the Win10 updates even though it came with Win10.

Good luck

Thanks, Trebb,

Your luck with HD drives is pretty impressive.

That BIOS compatibility issue is interesting. That might explain why two PNY disks went bad on me — with these constant Windows 10 updates. PC was about 5 years old.

I replaced all my spinning drives with SSDs. The speed increase is dramatic. I've never had one crash.

That happened because there was too much data stored on one side of the CD. Ya gotta spread out that data to prevent such catastrophes. :-)
