Hi,

That's a strange behavior of the SSD indeed, I don't know what could be causing this, perhaps disabling any sort of sleep or energy saving settings would help? In any case, a couple of observations:

1) yes, if all of preprocessing up to step N has finished, and the error occurred during step N+1, it is always safe to re-start preprocessing from the point it did not get to finish (i.e. from N+1), removing all previous steps in the preprocessing pipeline (as CONN will only update/save the result of a preprocessing step in your CONN project after that step has finished correctly on all subjects).

2) the error message that you included does not represent an issue during any individual preprocessing step, rather it indicates that there was some problem showing the data in the GUI after preprocessing has finished (which could be caused itself by a previous problem anywhere in preprocessing), just double-checking but I imagine you may also have another error message in the log or elsewhere that is indicating that this happenend during the smoothing step? (just asking in case that this other error message indicates a different source of the problem other than a disconnecting SSD)

Hope this helps

Hello all,

I'm experiencing a strange error when pre-processing my dataset. It seems my SSD disconnects/stops working everytime the structural segmentation and normalisation step is complete and the data is being imported to begin spatial smoothing. I've ran pre-processing up until this point three times with the same error.

There appears to be the right number of output files. Can I simply run spatial smoothing (skipping all the previous steps) to finish pre-processing or would this have downstream consequences?

Many thanks
