SSD boot died.

It sounds like you encountered issues with your custom Photoshop workstation. Corrupted SSDs can indeed lead to system instability and boot problems. Replacing the SSD is a good step to resolve such issues. Here are some tips to consider when setting up your new SSD on your Photoshop workstation: 1. Fresh Install of Windows: When setting up your new SSD, consider doing a fresh install of Windows to ensure a clean slate and avoid potential driver conflicts or system errors from your previous installation. 2. Power Settings: After the new SSD and Windows installation, double-check your power settings. Adjusting power settings in Windows can help prevent sleep issues. You can customize power plans to avoid situations where your system doesn't wake from sleep properly. 3. Backup Regularly: Given the experience with corrupted data, ensure you set up a reliable backup system for your important files and projects. Utilize external drives, cloud storage, or backup software to prevent data loss in the future. 4. Hardware Monitoring: Install hardware monitoring tools to keep an eye on system temperatures, fan speeds, and overall system health. This can help catch any potential hardware issues early on. 5. Update Drivers: After the OS installation, make sure to install the latest drivers for your system components, including chipset, graphics, and storage drivers. This ensures compatibility and optimal performance. By following these steps, you can set up your new SSD and workstation for a smoother Photoshop workflow and overall system stability. If you encounter any specific issues during the setup process or need further assistance with configuring your system, feel free to ask for help.
