I've only had this SSD for a year..... thanks for helping out I'll replace it. What about the HDD? it's an old one, is it bad?
Replace the SATA cable too, if you have a new one. I have had this problem on my backup rig with a MSI board, a A400 240GB SSD with WIndows 10x64 i have yet to find a fix for it.

It's fine, can't see anything terrible wrong. It's a new drive, with some small error. It could be due to the unexpected power loss that happened three times.
