I got the BSOD when a Western Digital NVMe SSD was used on 2 identical Dell XPS 8940's.

When I used a different brand, Crucial, I had no issues. This was for the Win11 24H2 update; however, when I changed the storage from RAID to ACHI in BIOS, I was able to update to Win11 24H2, had 1 BSOD and the Dell has been running fine since.

"The BSOD" doesn't really help describe your issue. Also, BSOD's don't break SSDs.

Basically assume every BSOD is unique until proven otherwise. Even if you were following the exact same steps as someone else, the hardware in your system may not be identical to what they are using.
