The issue you're experiencing with transferring large files from your 500GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD to a new one might be due to several reasons. One possible cause is that the transfer process is being slowed down or interrupted by the operating system or other system processes. Another reason could be that the new SSD is not properly initialized or formatted, which can cause issues with large file transfers. Additionally, the transfer process might be affected by the type of file system used on the new SSD, such as whether it's using the same file system as the original SSD (e.g., NTFS).
The most likely reason you're unable to transfer large files to another SSD is that one of your SSDs is faulty.
To check if your SSD is corrupted, download Qiling Disk Master Free, which can help you check the file system and examine for bad sectors.
After downloading, follow the steps below to begin:
Step 1. Open Qiling Disk Master and navigate to the "Partition Manager" tab. Select the target partition of your SSD from the list.
Step 2. Right-click on it and select "Advanced" > "Check File System."
Step 3. To fix disk errors on your SSD, start the process by ticking "Fix the error on the disk" and let the system detect and repair any errors it finds. This will help ensure your SSD is functioning correctly and prevent any potential data loss.
Step 4. After installing the SSD, right-click on it and choose "Surface Test" to check for bad sectors and ensure it's functioning properly.
If no errors are found in your SSDs, it could be the incompatibility of the file system. You can check if your SSD is formatted as FAT32, as it might suggest "32GB trying to transfer." If so, you can convert it to NTFS using Qiling Disk Master to avoid data loss.
Step 1. In Qiling Disk Master, right-click on the SSD partition.
Step 2. Choose "Advanced" > "FAT to NTFS" and start the process.
Ensure your files are not in use by any other program or process, and try transferring them again. If the issue persists, you can try restarting your computer or device to see if that resolves the problem.
