  • @Boycraft18462
    @Boycraft18462 Год назад +519

    It is most likely due to initialisation from the bios.
    When you unplug the SSD, it disappears from the view of the computer. But when you plug it back in, since it hasn't been initialised by the bios, the computer still can't see it so it behaves as if it was still unplugged.
    At least that's what I think is going on here
    There are hotswappable ones but they usually aren't used by the OS.

    • @pgpython

      I suspect it is because of the drives. When you plug in a drive the os reads the mbr or gpt to find out what the partition are and where they start and where they end. Each partition has a uuid identiting it. Windows is almost not expecting the drive to suddenly disappear so it may be mounting the drive as a letter other than c causing it to crash.
      Interesting it may not be an issue in linux because you can assign a partition uuid to a mount point so it would always get mounted in the right place.

    Unplugging and plugging back in will never work. Once you plug it back in any requests to access the data in the SSD will be invalid since a new mapping is needed between the data that is read into the ram and the data that is in the SSD. What might end up happening is blocks like instructions that were previously read into your memory will be read back in again and executed which means you will do something like load the OS again.

      Nonsense explanation. Real reason is that the device drivers in that consumer OS refuse to reinitialize the SATA protocol and associate the rebooted drive with the existing device object, thus triggering a kernel panic when the cache needs to talk to the drive again.

    By specifications, SATA disk's must support hot plugging. However, it is up to the BIOS and the OS on how to handle a suddenly removed disk, and doing so may result in data loss (i.e. those still not written to disk due to caching). It is obviously impossible to remove a system disk without causing a BSOD - Windows is keep reading data or DLLs from it.

  • @wile123456

  • @purplesgamesrepairs6577
    @purplesgamesrepairs6577 6 месяцев назад

    If I'm incorrect the reason why is cuz when it gets unplugged it gets unmounted from your system but plugging it back in doesn't Mount it automatically because the system has no way to handle it seeing as it's mounting system was stored on the hard drive.

    I’ve hotplugged SATA drives before. Granted, they weren’t my current boot drive and I did power them down so they were completely safe to remove and I was able to connect a different drive without any problem.

    if you put your boot partition on a different drive (i dont know if you can do this on windows, but you can on linux) and you replug your main drive with the root partition, it might work better than having both of those partitions in the same drive. but i don't have a spare computer to test this on.

  • @Kira_x86_64
    @Kira_x86_64 6 месяцев назад

    It is a known I/O error that Windows has. After repluging in the ssd, a large number of jobs that are being held on I/O will receive partial or null data. This will often include os integral reads and will almost 100% of the time cause a crash. I may be wrong about this but if your operating system is on a separate drive you are possibly able to pull an ssd out in the way shown but I couldn't find anything to confirm or deny this as far as POSIX compliment operating systems go. The more you know :)

    this may a factor
    DRAMless PCIE SSDs can use the system's RAM to for cache.
    SATA dosent have this feature, even for the DRAMless ones.
    it probably won't crash the PC if the data is cached in RAM
    but if the SSD has any form of caching, this can cause the BSOD during data access.

    The problem is that it's a serial protocol and you're interrupting it in the middle of some byte being sent at an undeterminable position. The data it gets back is totally and completely incomprehensible as a result, no matter what the drive sends back, because the serial clocks are out of sync.

These open files are called handles and the amount open can be found in task manager. Due to the expectation that the C drive (the host drive by which the OS lives on) would not be removed during use the OS doesnt know how to handle what just happened and cannot figure out how to continue with only what it has on ram as it doesnt know how to work with the drive again.
