Request could not performed because of an I/O device error


Recommended Posts

I might know what the cause of the not cloning is...

After the clean install, I try/tried to use this Samsung NVMe in my other computer.

The device manager gives this issue.

I have renamed the drivers, and deleted them. But for some reason it's not fully healthy I think.
It's completely wiped and empty, and a new partition has been created [and wiped again].

I have connected the SSK external NVMe to my other computer via USB-C and then this error appeared.
With a standard USB-USB/C it looks like it's running.

Might this "simply" be a USB-C cable issue? [although on my ROG STRIX I also tried the other USB to USB-C cable and there it didn't work.
Or is something else the case here?

Is the drive faulty? It's still under the 5-years warranty?

 

EDIT:

The cloning went successful!

Nice! How did it fix?

I managed via Device Manager to delete the partitions.

Where this was not possible, I renamed the drive letter and then deleted the partition [luckily].

All 'unallocated disk space' was formated, and a drive was created (this has been done via EASEUS Partition Manager, so not Windows Device Management].

After that I deleted this partition via EASEUS to unallocated again.

Finally I cloned the drive via Partition Manager.

[and put it in other machine]

 

On the new machine I downloaded Samsung Magician, and no errors are reported and the drive condition is good.

 

PS I guess some hickup had been the case on the "old" disk layout or something. Possibly with future errors-to-be, and I might got lucky by replacing this drive instead of losing all my data.

Update: Unfortunately it didn't :o

Just 1/2 weeks after the reinstall on another machine, after a reboot a blue screen emerges with BitLocker. And if I could enter the key. The what?!?

Also, on another drive (my extra/documents [luckily cloud-docs] which was never BitLocker'ed was also encrypted. Like... how?!?

It kinda looks to to me the older drive was "recovering" or 'remembering' or something else that it used to have BitLocker encryption - a very, very long wayy back - on these drive letters.

Lucky for me it was under warranty, and the retailer decided to refund the initial purchase.

I now have a brand new Samsung 980 PRO with hopefully not the 'remember you had BitLocker my friend' setting/memory.

    • Anker announces global recall of five power bank models over fire safety risks by Aditya Tiwari The Chinese electronics brand, Anker Innovations, known for its mobile accessories and power banks has announced a voluntary global recall of five power bank models. The decision comes after the company spotted a potential fire hazard issue with lithium-ion battery cells from a particular vendor. Anker said that it put up a series of quality checks to detect manufacturing issues early in the production cycle, which include component level-audits and supplier testing. The company assured that "while the likelihood of malfunction is considered minimal, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to initiate a voluntary global recall of several Anker power bank models." Here's the list of the Anker Power Bank models chosen for the global recall: Model A1257 - Anker Power Bank (10K, 22.5W) Model A1647 - Anker Power Bank (20,000mAh, 22.5W, Built-In USB-C Cable) Model A1652 - Anker MagGo Power Bank (10,000mAh, 7.5W) Model A1681 - Anker Zolo Power Bank (20K, 30W, Built-In USB-C and Lightning Cable) Model A1689 - Anker Zolo Power Bank (20K, 30W, Built-In USB-C Cable) If you think you own one of the affected power banks, you can check the model number located on the back or side of your power bank. After that, you can fill out the recall form to start the process and verify the serial number of your affected device. If your power bank is eligible for the recall, you can either get a replacement or receive a gift card for use on the Anker website. It's not offering any refunds in the US at the moment. Anker advises that you should stop using an impacted power bank immediately even if the device functions normally right now. A unit confirmed for the recall could pose the risk of overheating, melting, smoke, or fire. This is the second major recall from Anker in the same month after more than a dozen reports of fires and explosions. The company previously recalled over one million Anker PowerCore 10000 (A1263) power bank units, citing fire safety risks due to a potential issue with the Lithium-ion battery. These power banks were sold in the US from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2022.

    • It is a great product though... in this case, I don't mind paying.
