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.
It looks like that is for data recovery but I haven’t lost data it’s just an annoying thing to save it on my other drive and then reboot and save to the original drive
Spinrite was originally just a diagnostic tool. It will probably give you more details than necessary or you know what to do with.
The problem with SSD’s and diagnostics is SSD’s have a controller preforming all kinds of wizardry and witchcraft between the flash memory and the motherboard. This is because drive makers are cramming more and more into the same space.
In all likelihood your drive is failing or your motherboard is. You can’t do anything about it except replace the failed component. Diagnostic tools might help identify the problem, and might not help at all. Tools like Spinrite rely on the drive controller to tell the truth. If it’s lying, fudging, or broken you’re SOL.
