caconym Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The last two releases of CCleaner are incorrectly identifying my laptop hard drive as an SSD. It isn't, it's just a regular Seagate platter type one! This has a bearing on drive wipes etc. I've had to roll back to 5.29, which correctly DOESN'T identify it as an SSD. So what did you change? It definitely needs fixing. Pretty please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caconym Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Another new release, but STILL incorrectly identifying laptop internal 2.5" drive as SSD. Please fix in the next release - I'm three releases behind the current version and can't update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted July 16, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 16, 2017 the Devs have been made aware of this issue for ages, we (users with SSDs) are all waiting on a fix. it happens in CC and DF and comes and goes depending on software versions, motherboard brands, SSD types and all those combos of each. since going to SSDs I've used different brands and types and CC and DF detection has been hit and miss. until Piriform works out a reliable method of detection, perhaps a manual override where the user tells CC or DF the drive types would be a good, temporary work-around. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

caconym Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yes this would work... I'd really like to update to the current version but reluctant until this is fixed. My hard drive is NOT a SSD. Why does CC think it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caconym Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Another upgrade and STILL CCleaner is incorrectly identifying my laptop 2.5" drives as SSD when THEY AREN'T! So I'm still using 5.29! Every time I upgrade, test the new release, uninstall, re-install 5.29 - it was working then, so you changed something and broke it! Please get this issue fixed!
