Hello, I have a Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2.0 TB. I keep getting "this drive has stopped responding to commands" on my drive. I have tried to go passed it and it just keeps happening. My friend has the same motherboard and drive as I do, he was able to do his and he saw a big improvement over speed and issues with games crashing. I am just wondering if there is any way to fix this or maybe it's just a drive problem. I also tried doing a level 1 and 2, but same thing at the same first spot at least. Thanks.

DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available! Guest:
That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
(You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)
Is this a NVMe drive of a SATA drive? Have you tried Samsung Magician on it. Some of their drives had firmware updates to fix problems, but I think that was more on the 990 models.
Do you mean that you keep starting at 0% and letting SpinRite run until the drive stops responding at the same spot or do you mean that you tried starting SpinRite at a point past where it usually stops responding?
To start at a specific spot - Press the spacebar to select the drive to work on then press 'Enter'. On the next screen press the 'TAB' key to be able to select the starting and ending points for SpinRite to work on. Navigate with the arrow keys.
it stops at the same spot each time and I do go past it by starting at the Percent that it tells me. It will start again and then eventually it stops again (no long after) and so on. I had it stop so far 4 times. once at .665%, then at 3.88%, then at 3.91% and then finally again at 4.53%. then I gave up. It will always stop those percentages if I start over again.
