>In your first image (Samsung Magician), what do you get if you click on "System Compatibility" at the bottom? If the Magician doesn't support that particular model you may not get any diagnostics for it.
It is clear. It is compatible.
>Your HP diagnostics result does seem weird. I'm surprised it would not let you run it a second time. HP does not make its own drives (HD or SSD) so I would have thought any disk test portion should work with any drive.
I can run it a second time. I just have to click on Start. I am not sure if it should only report benchmarks or anomalies. Every time I run it, it just gives me new numbers.
>What is the make/model of the computer? The BIOS screen shots look very sparse, most modern systems have dozens of settings across those multiple pages.
It is a Sony VAIO Duo 13 SVD132290S. In order to access the BIOS, I had to tell Windows to boot in recovery mode. Then, I was able to go in the BIOS settings.
>This link lists some free drive monitoring/diagnostic tools:
https://mashtips.com/ssd-health-test-and-performance-monitor-tools/ . I haven't used any of them.
I have tried Crystal Disk Mark. It only gives benchmarks. It did not report anything. Then, I tried Hard Disk Sentinel. This tool is more professional. I have included 10 images which show great options.
>This seems to be the drive you have now:

>In general the process would be:
