I have an SSD, Samsung Evo, 1TB, supposedly not the worst, that was not used in obviously damaging manner and CrystalDiskInfo showed supposedly 99% lifetime.

Still, there are uncopyable files - if the SSD is inside a laptop, I get a BSOD when that happens.

If it's on another computer via SATA-USB cable, only its drive goes byebye and I have to unplug/plug again, which is not feasible to copy hundreds of GB of data with this happening every couple minutes.

I tried to clone it with bootable clonezilla, as I wold have liked the strangely still running Windows installation on another used but ok SSD I have laying around, with that old laptop this was in as "emergency setup", until I get my new gear put together & up and running.

But that just says, error cloning partition after successfully cloning the special Windows reserved ones.

I have managed to copy some files manually, but it is too laborious.

I have no good idea as to the nature of those SSD errors and if it's even possible that a program exists which could detect it and skip affected files instead of upsetting the SATA controller or driver.

Well, is this a well known issue, and does a feasible rescue method exist?
