NVMe SSD died

Dated: September 19th, 2025

"	NVMe SSD died, OS corrupt, replaced the NVMe, fresh OS, square one, end of story

If you noticed that I didn't post content here especially this september, yeah.
My SSD died after 2 years and 3 months, mainly due to so called 'No more spare' from CrystalDiskInfo. Health was fine but I don't think it was caused by wear.
When I did research on google, the spare means that your SSD has spare blocks that can replace the worn-out and bad blocks when the hardware requires them.
The major cause was electricity, if you didn't know power outage is very common on my end so that might be the main cause the SSD lifespan went shorter.

As for fresh NVMe and OS, I'm trying to restore most of the stuff and then I can go back posting stuff again :)

I once heard that Windows had an update that can ruin and potentially destroy specific SSDs. Don't know much more than that and I'm not sure if it was the cause of your issue. I'm mentioning it because it feels like it happened in the background and not many might know it happened. I at least hope you can recover most, if not all of your files. I wish you lots of luck.

Yea I've heard it's really bad. My friend's SSD died too. My main drive with Windows is an SSHD, then I save everything onto a secondary SSD. It'd be slow as hell, but I recommend using a hard disk or a hybrid as your boot drive.

OS on HDD is very slow tho, I imagine it's gonna take like 5-10 minutes to boot up for win11.
I was thinking the same thing, if windows update can break SSD, then it's just a matter of luck. They still sus even it is safe to install.

SFM is in my hdd for a reason in case this kinda situation happen, I only lost the OS and I managed to move my archived videos on the SSD to my external hdd. I luckily split the ssd to two drives so the OS is in the different drive, the other is where I keep my games that requires SSD to run well (I didn't lose them, all safe).
