Hi everyone, I’m using a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB for my games and have been experiencing crashes lately. At first, I thought it was due to faulty drivers, since many people on the Forza subreddit were reporting similar issues. But when I checked the event viewer, the error pointed to a hard drive problem. I couldn’t access the drive or Samsung Magician didn’t recognize it either. I’ve already formatted it before, so am I dealing with a failing drive? Thanks!

Verify the condition of your storage devices. CrystalDiskInfo functions effectively.

You might attempt to reposition it, possibly due to a weak signal. Alternatively, it could be overheating and shutting down.

Great effort! If it doesn't work, the issue might be with the drive.
