What Is SSD showing RAW file system?
There are many reasons why an SSD may become RAW, whether it occurs gradually over time due to modifications in the file systems. Let’s delve into some of these potential factors.
- Inappropriate use – Neglecting your hard drive maintenance can result in errors. Factors such as physical impact, high temperatures, unexpected power fluctuations, and more can all cause damage to your drives.
- Bad sector – When it comes to computing, a bad sector on a hard disk denotes a damaged storage unit area. Any data stored in that flawed sector will be lost, and the operating system will disregard it while accessing or examining that section.
- File system errors – Have you ever come across a RAW drive? This type of drive lacks any file system and cannot be detected or read by Windows.
