I will just run level 2 SpinRite on the SSD to force the drive to read every spot, which should trigger the error correction if that is happening. I was planning to check the caps when I get here later tonight as I have plenty experience with that scourge. :/ I did use the diagnostics in the web gui to check the SMART info and it didn't say anything out of the ordinary, but I have seen at least 2 Samsung SSDs over the years lose data with no warning and no errors in SMART.
I burned a copy of the latest install disc and I may do a clean install and reload my config if I can't find anything with the hardware.
