Unless you have a high end SSD, replacing it is probably the best bet. If you want it to 'last longer', consider putting in a 'round brown and spinning' drive and doing your 'work' off of that. Then nightly, or weekly, or however long you don't consider OK to sacrifice, back up to SSD/Flash/Offsi

Yes, I think you are exactly right.. You've worn it out. I build these for a living - Flash has a finite life, no matter what you do with kernels, applications, or filesystems. Eventually it will wear out. Most go read-only when this happens, a few still go 'under' when they figure out they can'

Not entirely on-topic, but this problem is delaying 7i76/7i69/7i70/7i71 support, so is at least vaguely relevant. My setup is a bit strange. I have a part-finished CNC controller up in my workroom which is a flatscreen, D510 with PicoPSU and SATA DOM SSD. This has accidentally become an EMC2 devel
