I emailed Crucial on Sunday and got a reply this morning with questions, lots of questions.
I copied it into Word and replied inline in red to see if it will help them, it is three pages long.
Will have to see what happens. As usual I can't tie the SSD to an invoice, I have 2 of the same make/size but there is nothing on the invoice to identify them. One was purchased October 2024 the other January 2025 so both in warranty.
I think it would be important to try the duff one on a different host machine and run SMART on it to establish beyond reasonable doubt that it is the drive *alone* that is the issue...
Here is the answer I gave Crucial to that question:
Originally Gigabyte Z790, after it failed I put it on
Asus Z170-K for testing
For desktop systems -
On the Gigabyte Z790 internal SATA Port 3
On the Asus Z170-K:
Internal SATA Port 4 Internal SATA Port on an add in PCIe card External USB3 Dusk caddy plugged into a front USB port
It has been very thoroughly tested!
