SSD's on fire!

Hello

When I woke up Sunday morning, I found one of my PCs to turn off. In addition, he felt weired in my apartment.

When I open the computer case that did not work, I found that my SanDisk SSD had caught fire and burned a few cables, and turned the black case inside.

Fortunately, it stopped burning before several components have been consumend (just the SSD and a few cables).

But it was only the case, because the SSD has been installed in a case big enough server were it was almost only (can be seen on the 4th photo). Would it have been packed in a normal case, I am sure that the whole PC, one then maybe the whole apartment would be caught fire.

I already know that the SSD is more under warranty (bought on 25.12.2013), and I do not have a replacement, BUT: what is your return, and what are you going to do about it?

PS: the dark at the back of the case is not a shadow, which is where the flames blackened metal!

This SSD has a 3 year warranty, so you should always be covered by the warranty. Also, if you are looking for a statement official sandisk to communicate with their support. They will be able to take care of you.

That said it seems to m that the source could be the cable itself and not necessarily the SSD, but it is difficult to say about the only photos. Best advice is to contact sandisk support to get this sorted out.

  • 13 9350 XPS - SSD USB C 3.1 - very unstable/no usable

    A few weeks ago, I got a laptop XPS 13. And it's a great machine.

    With the exception of a problem.

    I have a PNY 128 GB SSD connected to an interface of Startech USB 3.1 with a USB type C connector.

    When I plug it in, the system maintains the recognize and then not recognized it, infinity ad. Windows fires each time. The drive is unusable. Note that we open via USB 3, this works very well.

    I installed all the drivers a BIOS (1.4.3) updates and the latest updates of Windows 10. Note that I installed the driver of e/s series of Dell, but whenever I come back to see if there are more drivers, the IO series driver needs to update again. It seems to never take.

    Notice that before the 10 windows updates, it was more stable.

    Also if I boot to the safe is seems a lot better.

    I have very little installed on the system. Only things Microsoft (office 365, OneDrive). This is a new installation.

    I had a problem similar to this with my Dell USB - C to mini adapter HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB3.1. I called Dell and after 2 hours, they were able to fix. Apparently (don't ask me why) the adapter USB - C and WiFi are kind of material and power wise. If you go to the options of the advance of the WiFi adapter and change the WiFi output at 75%, this solves a lot of problems with the connection / disconnection of USB - C questions. Exit at 75% reduction does not affect your connection on wireless networks. Apparently Intel is aware of this problem and institute a fix in the next update of driver for the XPS13 which is supposed to reach the end of the summer.

    I hope it works for you.

    The update of the IO series driver who seems to never stop smoking is also another question, I noticed. I don't worry about this. I have as well, and the Serial i/o driver version is the most recent driver. It's like there is a bug when it scans the computer for driver updates.

  • Installation of the power of fire

    Hey everybody

    I also ordered the firepower for my 5555-X and recived an SSD and a number of PAK.

    I think I heard somewhere that I need two 120SSD disks, I have one. Is this enough?

    And what is the correct order:

    1 stop/uninstall old IPS

    2. Insert the SSD

    3 reload

    4. install the power of fire

    Thanx

    J.

    5555-X is designed to be used with two SSDS in a RAID 1 array.

    It will work with one but will not have a RAID protection.

    (edit - corrected the Raid type to '1').

  • Need help - Cisco ASA with the power of fire

    Hello

    Currently, we use asa 5510 without function of firepower. Our goal is to publish web servers and microsoft lync with reverse proxy method. control internet traffic, apply extensions individual file not to download, management of bandwidth etc.

    Is it possible if we add firepower on asa 5510... Please guide me... Thank you

    Power of fire must be installed on the new series X of the SAA.  5512 x, x 5515, 5525 x, etc.

    If you have a 5510, you probably want a 5512 x with an SSD.  Cisco has beams of firepower include the ASAx with SSD and the license of firepower.

    Adds that you must also Firesight management software, and there is a license bundle of 2 camera for under $ 500 that you can install on VMWare.

    Firepower is not reverse proxy, it's transparent online packages, analysis and filtering by URL / Application / and threat mitigation.

    If you want a reverse proxy, you should look into Microsoft ISA server or a Proxy Server reverse dedicated Web.  Cisco gave its product Web Director, who has done this function.

    You can host Web sites behind a firewall of ASA without proxy reverse.  And the ASA has an inspection of the request for HTTP traffic, responsible for watching HTTP requests.  The firepower to the ASA system also has specific signatures that monitor traffic to the web servers and prevent specific vulnerabilities that are known on those servers, so if that is what you want the Reverse Proxy for, then the power of fire module would probably cover your needs.

    Don't forget that until the next quarter firepower system has no decryption on the box, and you might want to wait that the feature is released and put in place, so that you know what size firewall you need protect your network with the SSL decryption.  I believe that the ASA5512x is testing at 75 Mbps stream decrypted via the fire power module, which is about half of what was before CX, then you could use the sizing numbers CX and extrapolate until Cisco releases official decryption numbers.

  • What happens to the cache on SSD in a scenario of great power blackout?

    In some environments (oil and gas), where UPS´s are not allowed, and the power can be cut to a complete platform because of risk of fire or of drilling, how can / will this on a virtual SAN?

    How will the State of the virtual cluster SAN?

    When cluster turns upward again, cache on SSD´s will be written to mechanical controls?

    In regards to caching, there will be an immediate recognition to write to the virtual machine as soon as the data is written to the local SSD, or don't this ack come when the lines are written in too?

    Thank you! :-)

    Best regards

    SSD cache is persistent, and when a whole environment then collapses when it starts up will recover very well. The acknowledgement is recognized as such in the customer when both hosts have completed writing.

  • mSATA SSD as drive Bootable - Inspiron 17R 5720

    Thus,.

    I desperately need the SSD speed.

    I know that I can use caching to intesl commands, but I can't!

    • Intel® Smart Response Technology: This technology takes advantage of the speed of the SSD in caching where frequently used information is stored on the SSD instead of hard drive.
    • Intel® QuickStart technology: this technology allows the system to boot with - in seconds after the hibernation.
    This is what I want to do, put a 128 GB SSD drive mSATA in the slot, windows in the fire and use it as my OS & APPS, (c drive) drive, and then use the existing drive, the 1 TB of mechanical drive as the drive for storage (drive d).
    The dell site, say I can't use an MSATA SSD started with--I see no why!
    Can someone advise?
    Also, I can't find the mSATA specification... dunno if its 3 SATA or SATA 2.
    Thank you

    Yes it worked perfectly.

    Mine has been running for more than a year.

    Install mSATA

    Disconnect the HARD drive temporarily

    Set as Bootable mSATA in bios.

    Install windows on USB msata,

    Connect the HARD return drive.

    You now have mSATA as drive C: and the old 1 GB HARD drive as d: or e: drive. But you can change to the d: drive if it goes as a e reader, as mine did.

    IM opting out this thread now. It works and has been confirmed repeatedly. Buy the disc and crack on with it.

  • How to change back to SSD HARD drive?

    My mcbook pro comes with the original 500 GB of HARD drive. When he ran with a problem, I went to an apple repair shop. Problem was in the charts, and he suggested the HARD drive to be replaced by a 120 GB SDD. So it has been replaced, but the guy on the left HARD drive as a storage device. Moment where DDI is left with small space and when I update to OS X El Capitan of OS Sierra, it had to be installed in the HARD disk drive. Could someone please give instructions to install the new OS to the SDS to lose all my data and the current configuration and it is also possible to install windows XP on the HARD drive and 10.  Either by the way, I got Windows 10 and XP shared with the SDS via parallels. Thank you

    How to use an SSD with your HARD drive

    If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do.

    After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume.

    Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder.

    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content.

    Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  • Latest MBPs are not autonomous RAM/SSD upgrade?

  • Question of cloning for SSD upgrade on 12 Macbook Pro

    Previously, I did an upgrade to SSD on my Macbook Air to 2012 according to the instructions of JetDrive transcend. Basically connection via USB 3 and using Mac OS X to clear (and format) disc utilities new SSD, then restore again SSD and then remove the original 128 GB SSD and insert the new 480 GB SSD.  For about a month and so far without problem.

    Now I'm trying to 2012 Macbook upgrade my Pro partner (on 10.11.6).  I got a Crucial SSD MX300 to replace his HARD drive.  Crucial comes with (or recommend) Acronis software.  And a lot of the messages of the forum recommend Carbon Copy Clone.

    My question is if I can use the same method for the cloning of the HD as my Macbook Air (just restore disk of Mac OS X utilities)?  This time, I'm upgrading HARD drive and I don't know if something is different.  At the same time, if I got lucky the first time, I don't not ruin Macbook Pro my spouse this time.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use disk utility to clone your MBP wives, but unlike CCC, it will not clone the recovery and Partition.

  • Cloning of SSD HD via active with Filevault disk utility

    Hi all

    I want to improve my HD to SSD.

    I intend on using disk utility for recovery mode to clone my HD to a Virgin SSD I bought.

    I must, however, Filevault enabled on my HD.

    It will be a problem when it comes to cloning the drive?

    Thank you

    Adam

    No, it shouldn't be a problem. It may be necessary first turn on FileVault and encrypt the SSD. But if there is no problem just turn off FileVault on the HARD drive.

  • Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro - does not fit into my Mac Pro.

    I just bought a Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro Plus (the same, physically, like the Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro)

    I can't even came close it enter my Mac Pro end 2012. On the back of the bumps in the fan card, even with the fan cover pulled back.   This isn't a case to remove the lower lip, which obviously I do, I can't do it AT all, not even at an angle.

    I called Sonnet, but incredibly the tech said that it must adapt.

    It seems that I have only 2 choices: unscrew the fan and moving it more far forward of the mac (somehow) to cut about 1/2 "on the back of the Sonnet card.  The latter would obviously kill my warranty, and I don't even know if the bloody thing still works.

    To my amazement, I find nothing about it online.  It's like the Twilight Zone.

    Any ideas?  Someone knows has a video that shows a successful installation?

    Pls confirm what Mac you have.

    There is no end of 2012 Mac Pro, only mid 2012.

    There is a 2012 end MacBook Pro.

  • Editing a file to remove confidential data from a solid state drive (ssd)?

    I understand that El Capitan has removed the option "Secure Empty trash" because of hard drives (ssd) state how strong. So, I try to understand how I can work around it.

    Let's say I have a Pages or Word file with a list of names that should be kept confidential, and I want this file to the trash.

    What happens if I change the file to remove these names? Removing ssd data? Can I trash then the file as usual without worrying about confidential data remaining on the ssd?

    Or what should I do if I replaced the confidential names with something? For example, if I was John Doe on the list, what happens if I change to be John xyz? XYZ crash Doe on the ssd?

    No it doesn't, use FileVault to encrypt the contents of the disc.
