I have a 2TB 970 EVO SSD by Samsung. Samsung Magician says the drive is fine, but AOMEI Partiion Assistant is reporting lots of bad things. I'm putting a screenshot from each of these pieces of software so you can see the difference. Which one do I believe? I'm leaning towards Samsung since they are the makers, but why would AOMEI give such horrible results for the same drive?

Thanks for your help!

Seems like the interface isn't communicating with AOMEI which could be of you're using the drive in an enclosure that doesn't pass smart data to the software.

SS drives are odd sometimes. Just to put your mind to rest try CDM and see what it has to say.
