I installed a 1 TB Samsung 860 EVO m.2 SSD into my laptop today. I formatted the drive using the Windows Disk Manager tool. The laptop is installed with Windows 10 on a 2.5 inch HDD drive.
I then tested the m.2 drive by copying some photos to it and that worked fine. To do a more precise check of the drive I tried running CrytsalDiskMark, this appeared to work fine but after the sequential read test the program appeared to hang and I got a BSOD shortly afterwards.
The stop code was DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION
. The laptop restarted and appears to be working normally. I've installed the Samsung Magician software and it is reporting the drive condition as good and the drive has the latest firmware installed.
