Wtf is happening? Is my computer killing SSDs?

@matrix Are you running a game with Denuvo?
Do you have search indexing enabled in Windows?

@camedei456 No. Search indexing is on, but that's not the issue. That 100% is due to the SSD not responding, not because it's being used heavily.

@matrix That might be one reason that your SSD is dead if search indexing is activated.
I usually disable that myself since EVERYTHING is indexed by that service and I don't need the file search that much.

@camedei456 Boot NVME SSD is 5 year old and fine. SSDs that died and got replaced with this one were 2 and 7 years old. This one died after 8 days. You can't kill an SSD with usage that quickly. One would assume it's the PSU or the SATA ports, but all my SATA HDDs are fine.
