I just tried the following KIOXIA utility for their Exceria line of NVMe M.2 SSD's. So maybe if a moderator happens to read this post, they can unmark the thread solved or if a Dell or KIOXIA disk management utility now exists, provide a link. But just to be clear, I haven't found any solution yet and I recall that soon after I got my computer over 6 months ago, I called Dell and asked them about a disk management utility for the KIOXIA drive in the Dell XPS 8930 Special Edition and the support agent said that there was none other than the scanning tool in the Dell Support utility, which just give a PASSED/NOT PASSED grade, etc. I don't know if a moderator marked the thread as SOLVED (I don't remember doing so).
Toshiba ssd format utility plus#
So when my Dell 8930 Special Edition is out-of-warranty, I'll probably get another Samsung EVO PLUS (or maybe even PRO!) drive to replace the relatively pathetic system drive that Dell provided. It beats the pants of the KIOXIA drive, particular in random read/writes (~3x faster in both). Since then I got a Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe drive as a non-system drive.
I think I tried an older Toshiba disk management offering but the KIOXIA drive isn't recognized. I basically gave up on finding a disk management utility for the KIOXIA drive.
, presumably a drive produced long after Toshiba shed its subsidiary.
Toshiba ssd format utility update#
Thanks the suggestion at the French site but that's FIRMWARE, not a disk management utility, which is what I wanted, and it also appears to be a firmware update for an older type of Toshiba SSD, K BG., whereas my KIOXIA drive is K XG. Is there any SSD management utility from Dell or KIOXIA that can be used on a DELL XPS 8930 Special Edition without violating the Dell warranty? I have also inquired through a Service Request to Dell but sometimes community members are more knowledgeable than Support personnel. The displayed formats are the most common file types. A user can choose the required file format type and press the ' Start ' button to proceed to the Toshiba SSD recovery.
Both non-Dell SSD's came with great management utilities that in particular tell me what % of the write life of the SSD I have used up and the reports are sensitive to enough decimal places I can actually tell if anything I'm doing, say in machine learning, is chewing up a substantial amount of SSD write-life on a day-to-day basis. After launching the tool, the primary screen displays all the file formats that it can recover. In contrast, I have installed a Crucial and a Samsung SSD to replace mechanical hard drives in older laptops. Any diagnostic tools for the hard drive seem to be very uninformative blackbox PASSED or not tools with no real report on the state of the SSD. I have skimmed through the Dell Support Utilities that came with my Dell XPS 8930 computer that has a 512 Gb KIOXIA NVME SSD as its system drive.
