SSD CRASHING GAMES
I got an external SSD (500Gb Sandisk) and it keeps crashing games after puting them on it. It happend with 2 games already, Raft and Paladins, when i put them back on the internal HD, it comes back to normal, anyone had the same problem? How can i solve it? I'm hoping that's not an defect on the SSD

Might be undocking unexpectedly.

External SSDs are lower quality and slower than internal SSDs. Are you sure you don't have internal ports you can use?

It's best to buy a internal drive and buy your own external enclosure.

I bought the external one because i had other needs to it, but when i use with steam games it keeps crashing. It's not undocking, when it does i recieve a messege.

Most likely it's defective. Run a disk check.
