Description of Issue
I’ve had the same issue as described here:

Roon database and settings not ready

An overview, but not an exhaustive list, is given in the first section of the KB article on Backup.

That issue was resolved by replacing the SSD. I’ve only just bought and installed this NUC last week so I can get the SSD replaced under warranty but I would like to be sure the issue really is a faulty SSD before sending it back.

The supplier sent me a link to CrystalDisk software to check the SSD but for that the NUC needs to run Windows, which it isn’t because it runs ROCK.

Is there a way I can check that the issue really is caused by a faulty SSD in the NUC?

BTW, I’ve also implemented the fix described for the same issue here:

ROCK unstable and randomly stopping

Hi John , Thank you for trying to solve this. The answers to your questions: 1 the NUC is connected to a Netgear GS105. The devialet also (but the managed version GS105E). The router connected to the internet is a Ubiquity edgerouter X 2 both Devialet and NUC do not have WiFi configured 3 I only use one zone 4 the latest firmware version Firmware 13.0.0 + DOS 2.2.2 but the problem was also there with the previous beta 14 version. Hope this helps. Side note (probably not relevant) a manage…

Since this issue is intermittent it’s hard to be sure that fixed the problem. Time will tell.

Cheers,
Pim

Could you buy a cheap usb to sata cable and then check the SSD via another laptop/computer?

I’ve just attached a HDD I have on hand, to my MacBook and I can use Disk Utilities to check it so I assume that would be possible with a USB attached MSATA drive too. thanks for the tip.

So far, so good after implementing the above linked solution. I’ve tried to break it by playing to multiple endpoints but it’s been stable so far. ginger cots. (That’s me typing ‘fingers crossed’ with my fingers crossed.
