So I own a Lenovo legion 5i laptop and I installed a brand new mushkin Vortex 2tb NVME SSD last year. But it has gone into read only about 30 times since I got it but smart reports 0 errors. I reboot my machine and boom fixed it it takes place in windows and in Linux often in the middle of my work so I can’t save again. I did like to fix this issue but don’t know what to do as there are no errors.

The drive is gpt and has multiple partitions of which my NTFS partition has the most problems as it sometimes requires a reboot of windows even when it worked before in Linux. But my swap and ext4 partitions also fail. In total there are 6 partitions 1 large NTFS partition, 2 large ext4, a swap partition and a bios and fat partition for tripple boot. My OS’s are up to date and are windows 11, pop_os and Gentoo. My other samsung drive never has this issue. But my laptop has had a motherboard replacement and a ram replacement since I got it last year.

I hope you can guide me in the right direction. Thank you for at least reading this.

    You bought a budget nvme drive, and you got budget quality and longevity. Best advice is what you’re already been given - back up your data and replace it. If you want better quality and/or longevity, I suggest you don’t buy the same one again.

      But where are the smart errors if it’s failing. Also it claims 1pb write and 5year warranty speed is as claimed 7gigbyte/s

        You are not listening to what you are being told.

        You bought a budget drive.

        You got budget quality.

        You got budget longevity.

        It doesn’t matter what the companies marketing material say about its product.

        Companies and marketing lie.

          Okey that might be true but why would they offer a warranty that isn’t profitable or do you think they know people can’t return it because there are no errors?

            Because most idiots, errrrr consumers, won’t use the warranty or will forget about it. It’s cheaper to sell shit to people than sell good products. Hence why Amazon exists.
