![]() This root cause / issue might not be your fault technically, but it doesn’t mean your company should not act on it. Telling your users to ask the manufacturer for a refund is not. Perhaps blacklisting drives with known issues is an option, or publishing a compatibility list of some kind…anything that would have given me a notion this thread existed before I attempted to flash these keys would be acceptable. There is definitely an issue with Etcher X SanDisk. I was able to use Rufus to successfully format / flash a new key I picked up. While the issue may be with SanDisk, it is still really inconvenient and frustrating to wind up destroying drives. I experienced the exact same issue, and just lost two Sandisk USB flash drives. There should be a large clear warning on your software and your website should warning people using SanDisk drives NOT to use your software, as it is clearly capably of easily incorrectly triggering the failsafe locking feature built into this particular hardware…… Your defense is that you did not kill them, your push was gentle and only moved them a couple of inches. You give them a tiny push, gentle, but enough to move them a couple of inches, enough to push them off the ledge, which leads to their death, caused by the long fall to the ground. Say there is someone sitting on the ledge of the roof a high rise building, and you are walking along, near them, and behind them. So your claim that it was not your software that causes the drive to brick itself is nothing but a lame word -play ie - a lie - that I could perhaps best illustrate with a physical analogy. Looking on the SanDisk website, it seems this write protection mechanism is something that is built into the firmware of these drives to protect data when the drive’s firmware controller thinks it has detected data corruption. Also download the HassOS from Intel NUC - Home Assistantħ) Use balenaEtcher to flash your NUC SSD with HassOS image.Well, I’ve tried everything in the post, and the comments below, and these two drives are still bricked ie write protected.Īs to your assertion that your software does nothing that could possibly do this is obviously simply not true. Sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX (to see the test results after about 30 to 60min)Ħ) If everything ok, open Firefox and go to. ![]() Sudo smartctl -t long -a /dev/sdX (get the sdX number at Disk app that coming with Ubuntu) At the setup screen choose TRY UBUNTU instead of install it.ĥ) After Ubuntu starts if you would like to test your SSD, install smartmontools and run a long test on it: Obs: does not use Ubuntu Server it does not have “live” option.Ĥ) Insert the USB to NUC and boot it. Press F10 to save and exit the BIOS Setup.ģ) From a PC download Ubuntu Desktop ( Download Ubuntu Desktop | Download | Ubuntu) and flash it to an USB Stick (I used balenaEtcher to it). bio file for your NUC model from Intel and use F7 on boot to update BIOS from USB drive.Ģ) Press F2 during start to enter BIOS Setup. How check if the hardware is OK only using HassOS if HassOS does not have many advanced packages/tools? With Ubuntu you can do that to check the hardware failures.ġ) Download. It is very easy and have many other benefits in my case. So with that I booted the NUC using USB and flashed the NUC SSD with balenaEtcher from Ubuntu. I flashed a live Ubuntu Desktop on an USB Stick. I just found one case option that is the price of one new SSD 64GB or 128GB kkkk… no make any sense to buy it… and if I buy I will only use one time. The second alternative is to buy a MSATA to USB cable or case.Īs MSATA is a very old and uncommon interface is very, very expensive in my country (Brazil). I disassembled an external HD to try to use it as an external case to this SSD… but as expected not worked due the difference between SATA vs MSATA interface. ![]() It is very cheap, I will not run other containers or VMs on it so HassOS is the better option.īut I found a setup dilemma: almost 100% of installation process that I found here or at YouTube suggest me to remove the SSD disk and flash it with balenaEtcher using another PC.īut how to do that at DCCP847DYE? It uses MSATA SSD. I bought a old used Intel NUC (DCCP847DYE) to be my HassOS hardware.
