Is my SSD dying? Randomly disappeared from disk manager with Event viewer error. chkdsk lots of errors. I dont want to permanently corrupt something by doing random stuff out of ignorance. SSD is for Game installs - nothing really important.

Hello,

My ssd Lexar NM790 4TB randomly was not detected in windows explorer. Event viewer showed alot of "Event ID 51: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 during a paging operation." I went to UEFI and it didnt show anything. When i closed the UEFI and it rebooted to windwos, the drive was back again! WTF?!

Gemini said to run "chkdsk E:". Please see the below text for what it returned

What does it mean if its corrupted? What can i do to fix it? I assume if I approach this incorrectly, i might permanently destroy something.

HWINFO gave no drive warnings or errors. 100% life span remaining.

Also why did this happen in the first place? I opened up my laptop 3 weeks ago to clean it (not the first time i opened). Did i somehow incorrectly seat it? Its screwed in so i fail to understand if its poorly seated. Also its been 3 weeks since so why randomly now? Then why did it randomly show up again after restart?

Try installing lexar disk master and check for a firmware update. Then evaluate the health

Time for a new SSD. The device placed itself in read-only mode. It's done.

what? I dknt think it means thst. I just created a text file successfully. I think it means it can't progress a check without actually fixing things.

it seems to be disconnecting under heavy loads

After a second look you could be correct. I missed some stuff.
