The manufacturers utility does have a smart management feature that I’m going to play with further and see if the original problem of soft ecc correction is different on driveDX vs the manufacturers utility. I’ll use this in the future if I need to send back the second drive, which is still showing the soft ECC correction warning in driveDX The utility only runs on windows, and I bet that’s why the support guy says the drive won’t work on a Mac.Īnyway the utility has a secure erase feature that wipes drive to “out of box” condition.

This is the second brand new drive from Amazon that is doing this. It’s actually used as a bootable clone drive for the internal SSD which is a Samsung 860evo.įor some reason, driveDX is flagging this drive with a soft ECC Correction warning.
