I’ve acquired a second hand Thinkpad T14 recently (gen 1, Intel version). Running Fedora Gnome.
The SSD seems fine.
I tested it with Gnome Disks; I filled the drive with files and checked their integrity; also copied files around, on drive and from USB. No issues.
But many downloaded files become corrupted. The download finishes normally, but if If I try to open said files they fail (in the middle of a video for example) and if I copy them I get an “input/output” error.
LAN or WAN, over ethernet or Wifi, it doesn’t matter.
Could it still be the SSD? Or maybe a driver issue?
Thank you for reading!
Yeah I thought of checking dmesg too late, I was already running the - destructive - badblocks command…
It is finishing I think, and found zero errors.
My plan now is to install a different distribution to see if it makes a difference. I the error reappears I’ll remember to check the logs.
