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.
None of that is normal on a healthy drive. If you have not, please make backups of your data ASAP.
I have done that already every week I make a backup because I don’t thrust it. But it won’t show errors so the shop I bought it from won’t accept it as a return
Beyond that if they still won’t honor the warranty, you’ll probably have to pony up to buy a new SSD
The problem is that it won’t always do it just occasionally but I will probably try contacting mushkin to maybe get them to replace it
You might try CrystalDiskInfo. I know nothing about it, but there are several forum posts elsewhere that suggest it.

Edit: on second thought, just contact the vendor and run the diagnostics they all you to.
