    I’m slowly starting to believe the weak parts on SSDs are not wear and tear, but controllers glitching and dying. The two SSDs that I have lost, became goners overnight with unresponsive controller (first one lasted about 6 years, other one about 4), and few days ago a friend of mine also lost his SSD, the service told it’s the controller.

      What brand? I’ve never lost an SSD.

      Brb, better go back up my data now…

        Samsung 860 and 870. Interestingly enough my very first SSD (840) is still alive. The thing is ancient and has a power on time of 1146 days.
