I have the 2TB version of this Asgard AN3+ SSD and it is barely a month old with less than one write cycle on the drive:
It's in a working Ugreen USB-C enclosure:
The drive has 1.5TB of photos and videos on it. I was midway through copying files from a memory card to the drive when things suddenly stopped responding.
- In Windows Disk Management it now says I need to initialize the disk with either MBR or GPT.
- It shows the disk as Not Initialized and the 2TB of space as Unallocated.
- I've tried the disk on a second Ugreen enclosure and it does the same thing.
----------------
- Why would this suddenly happen?
- Should I initialize with MBR or GPT?
- What are the steps I should do to safely recover all of my data? Do I need to buy a second 2TB+ drive first to recover to? Or is there a way for me to initialize the drive and have it go back to being totally normal with all my files?
- Is this AN3+ drive defective then?
