December 28, 20205 yr Gerard. Latest Windows 10 build Chkdsk /f not only corrupts SSD's. It just corrupted one of my external 4 TB Seagate backup drives. Today, I connected the drive and windows suggested to scan the drive, and it ran a repair; after it finished I was unable to access the drive (lost all privileges, so did SYSTEM and the whole admin group) . Login in as Administrator allowed me to see the file structure and all files, so I had to run the takeonw from an elevated command to regain access to the drive, folder and files.

You should never be afraid to validate the consistency of your file system. Cheers! Luke Kolin I make simFDR, the most advanced flight data recorder for FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane.

But I further investigated this and apparently the SSD drivers will perform their own sort of checking function as well, so chkdsk is not necessary unless you want to do it manually.

While SSDs can check their integrity, they have no way of determining whether the filesystem is valid or not. Cheers!
