I happened upon Tron script on Reddit for cleaning/optimizing windows machines, so i decided to run it on my desktop machine in my signature. I did a trial run on my laptop, and it seemed to work well. When i ran it on my Win 10 desktop though, it ended saying that it found a disk smart read error. It didn't specify which drive and I'm not sure how to verify. I have (2) 500GB Samsung Evo SSDs (1 for Windows), (1) WD Blue 6TB HDD (plex media server), and WD Purple 10TB (surveillance [empty, not used yet]). Is there a way to tell which drive has the error? All are fairly new, with the WD Blue being only a couple months old (though it definitely gets used most often being the media server drive). I think i have Samsung RAPID mode configured on the SSDs, if that matters. Though I also have it configured on my laptop, and Tron didn't seem to have a problem with that.

Ok thanks. I'll check those out. Does it seem odd that i would have disk errors so soon?

These things happen, I had an SSD that was at 82% life -left, a lot worse then older SSD's I had, after using the company's own software it was "back" at 99%
Despite testing as good, my one SSD for Windows had half the sequential W/R speeds of the other and also lower overall W/R speeds. The drives are identical, same model, same capacity, same age (since install, manufacturer date might vary slightly). The OS drive actually had less total bytes written, despite testing notably worse. I turned on rapid mode in Samsung magician, so now it's obviously testing off the charts lol.
Good point. I bet MSI has some method for testing them in the BIOS.
