[Solved] SSD Formatting Issue: Goodram Iridium Pro 480GB - Error Preventing Deletion & Formatting

Hello, I have a problem with formatting the SSD disk when I try to install the system, I get an error that prevents both deleting and formatting the disk.

Crystal disk info, it shows me something, it doesn't tell me much.



I tried to delete and format the disk via ubuntu before fdisk or gparted, but always after making changes, the disk returned to its previous state, or there was no formatting at all, I don't know. After making changes and rebooting, the system always returns to one state.

I do not know what to do with it, I bought the disk about 1.5 months ago, but will they accept a guarantee in such a case? I do not know what to do.

Model: Goodram Iridium pro 480GB

Hello. Drive I would try to give back how is the warranty.

Give back the guarantee - you won't learn anything by yourself.

You can still do it, but you have to notice that everything can be started. It's just that after a reboot there is always a return to the state before the restart. And I don't really like giving back the disk with the data saved on the disk. : \ But if you have to, you have to. I was hoping that I could somehow recover. : \

And in this state you have access to the disk? Can you write and read? Can you see these partitions?
The disk is damaged - the only question is whether you are not able to delete the data.

You will not recover this data on your own and the companies dealing with it are very expensive. It is better to sacrifice this data and have a new disk.

I have access, I can boot normally. Temporary recording is possible. But after reboot, all changes go back. Partitions can be seen. I have no idea. While trying to format during reinstallation, I got the error: "We couldn't format the selected partition" Error: 0x80070057

I was able to transfer data to another disk. So I won't lose anything but a few hours of configuration and installation. But I will give away the disk with all the browser data, etc.

Is this the Goodram invention called "Iridium Pro"? (I ask because somehow they are ashamed and do not mean them more precisely in the place of the model) - still the temperature suggests, they almost all have in all conditions 30 ° C

The self-respecting SSD manufacturer has a dedicated soft for your SSD and there you could try Sanitize / Secure Erase and from them you only have this funny SMART program to read so you can still get tired under Parted Magic (the last free ver. Is the one on UltimateBootCD) but I can see thinly:
https://partedmagic.com/secure-erase/

You can always try ... Well, I'll give it as a guarantee, and if they think I'm going to spoil something, at least I'll have another painful lesson from my life. Maybe the last one.

And yet not. I don't want to have fun anymore. I will take the guarantee to the salon tomorrow and see what they say. Although I have mixed feelings, it is not clear what will result. : \

Thanks for your help, if needed I will let you know what was going on, maybe someone will be useful someday.

So you have a reading you have no record? Files can be manually deleted, probably not? Instead of formatting the disk, delete the data. If you delete, overwrite with zeros if possible.

Give back the warranty.

That's all you need to say:

You cannot delete it manually. The memory returns to the state it was in before it was deleted after a restart. The zero overwrite option didn't work either.

So I will. I have already packed the disk in a box, it will print the invoice in a moment. I'll see what it will be. Fortunately, I still have one smaller HDD and one storage in my PC, so I could easily transfer the necessary data to it. And install the system.

Summary: I took the disk to the showroom (one of the largest electronics retailers) and got a new disk immediately, after giving problems that occurred in my disk.
