Hi,
apparently my Samsung 970 EVO 2TB NVMe SSD dies after 3 years of service in ThinkPad T580. At about 1-2 years of age there were suddenly few media errors (visible in SMART), few files unreadable, yet surface check showed zero bad sectors (due to remapping)? And then after 3 years, it died completely. Partitions visible, but unable to read anything more out of it. It is out for warranty repair now, but I wonder - was this caused by the heat, being crammed in a laptop without good air circulation? The cooling doesn't reach there I believe.
I'll be upgrading laptop very soon, I plan to make a RAID (Mirror) of two NVMes. Which ones have good performance to heat ratio - ie. which ones perform the best considering the heat generated? I'm aiming for 2TB+ again and generally prefer manufacturing brands, not OEMs reselling reference designs.
Thanks for any tips,
A.
