NVMe SSD died
2 months ago
It's probably important, or not
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 :)

my moms sister had a hdd die and it looked healthy.
have you tried just buying a cheap hdd or does your pc not fit one?
walmart does sell an ssd for less than 20$ if you are in a hurry.
I own a bunch of old pc's and I usually just rip eachother out and reuse if I need to...
Luckily the price are not that expensive, so if it happens again I could grab the same brand NVMe.
For hdd they should work fine for a long time, since they still use traditional-style mechanism and not NAND flash, the only time they break is when the hdd gets damaged due to hard impact.
I don't recommend it tho.
hdd's might not be as fast, but they get the job done.
SSD has max TBW (terrabytes write), HDD doesn't have one and is unlimited.
Buy an uninterruptible power supply unit. Doesn't need to be one with the pure sine, internal power transformer, if its a good one, will gulp it down like nothing. 1 kW, or what you use in the land of eternal burger, pound forces should be enough for pretty much anything that is not a rig with 8196GTX and intel i999.
Should be good enough to prevent it from happening in the future, but require some, moderate, investment.
UPS is sort of rare on the store the last time I bought one, they also require battery replacement when worn out after a year.
And no, the dont require replacement that often. Unless you use them constantly and/or with the massive load.
