SSD behaves as if it is "read-only" but softwares that have been used "think" the opposite

Question

Wierd behaviour of ssd, not letting me to format it or do anything else except of reading/copying files, as if it is "read-only" but it isn't read-only (based on what diskpart says)... for example when:

• "DISKPART> DETAIL Disk" it outputs "... Read-only : No".
• "DISKPART> CLEAN" says "DiskPart succeeded in cleaning disk", then i re-initialize ² it and all files reapear!
• passing files on the drive and then remounting it, those files disappear (like they where never created).

Seems to me like.. it's failing? ..any idea? Here another screeshot

^{_{the SSD that i am using is the "Verbatium Vi550 S3", pretty new / i've only used it for 3-5 months}}

Answer 1

Seems like there is an issue with your SSD. Have you tried using gparted?

1. Create a new partition table (this will destroy all the data!).
2. Create and resize (if needed) the partition.

EDIT: try this using terminal (note that you will need sudo for most of these commands):

1. sudo umount /dev/sdb
2. parted /dev/sdb -- mklabel msdos.
3. parted /dev/sdb -- mkpart primary 1MiB -8GiB
4. mkfs.ext4 -L newpart /dev/sdb1

!!PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS WILL ERASE ANY CONTENT ON THE DRIVE!!
