SSDs have a deservedly poor reliability reputation, and when they fail
they tend not to fail gracefully, a few sectors at a time, like discs
often do, but - instead - by going 100% unreadable somewhere inbetween
consecutive CPU clock cycles with absolutely no warning whatsoever.
i call that FUD
other than a HDD flash media *typically* is completly readable but
refuses to write a single byte - had more than one SD card with that
behavior which even burned a confused smartphones card-reader down
because overheating of the device (full battery empty within 30 minutes)
i was able to read them without any issue
they just did not write anything but confirmed every write access (which
likely was the reason of device overheating when read/write never
matches and no device error)
they confrimed format them with ext2, ext3, ext4, fat32, xfs, overwrite
them with "dd" and after pull out and insert again all data where still
unchanged
and frankly one must show me any flash storage in real life which was
completly unreadable from one moment to the other - there me be rare
cases but if you had one of them don't confuse your single expierience
with "that is how a SSD acts"
If you have anything that's important to you on your SSD which isn't
*already* backed up, then you might want to get yourself a couple of
large USB memory sticks to take care of that. Right now.
again FUD: if you have *anything* that's important and you have no
backup it's not important and can be lost in the next second - "on your
SSD" has no place in that statement
