Hello, thanks for the video. I'm having this problem with an external ssd. I've connected the ssd to my other laptop and it works just fine while transferring files. I've connected the ssd to the laptop to where I originally had a problem with its usb type A port, but connected it to a usb port type c and it worked just fine. Then I tried the same thing with a thumb drive and had the same i/o error on the same usb A port while transferring files. So I deduce by your video that it is the usb A port. I tried doing the updating -USB Mass Storage Device- but that's not showing up in my computer while it even connected to my laptop. btw the laptop does indeed detect the external ssd, it just stops file transfers while connected to that specific usb A port. Does anyone know what else I should try?

Alright I-m getting that error for my internal hard drive, it happened after my pc crashed and when I opened it back up, disk 0 wasn-t there, I tried initializing it or clicking the offline button but it said -request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. I can-t initialize it and it says unknown right under the disk 0 in computer management under storage. So I can-t even restore anything because I didn-t have any restore points. I don-t know if I should uninstall it and then reinstall it if that-s possible. Please help, I had all my games and school stuff on that drive.

So I'm getting this error with 2 usb drives that I have and it's almost impossible to even get them to show up anywhere. I can plug them into any other computer and they show up immediately and I formatted them. Once I plug them back into my computer they don't work. Crazy thing is I can put another usb drive from a friend in and it comes up immediately and works just fine. It's just all very strange to me. None of these tips work and I've searched tirelessly on the internet. Any ideas?

Hi, there are 488,129,887 secotors in my 250GB HDD scanning at approximately 1170 sectors per seconds, which suggests 4days and about 9hours to finish scanning. After nearly an hour, scanned only 671744 sectors and still at 1% with 0 files found and 0MB size found. Please advice, is this normal? What should I expect?

My case is peculiar - the device is inaccessible in file explorer, unformattable, its partitions not readable by software and the only time I can interact with it is in 'device manager' and (sometimes) through disk management. None of the tips in this video managed to fix it. Any idea what else I can do?

Nothing works. The driver is updated, Command Prompts says 'cannot read volume access' or something, all partitions apps just straight up crashed or not responding or stuck on scanning. I've tried plugging and unplugging the cable from the motherboard, nothing. I'm frustrated at this point.

You can't run chkdsk without having a drive letter on the drive...did we just overlook this completely?
Beyond simply -get a new cable- as this video describes, does anyone any any other possible solutions.
