Check for errors in the M.2 drive using diagnostic tools or manufacturer software.
Over the last few days my gaming drive has been behaving oddly. It would crash during gameplay and show errors like "disk write error" when trying to reopen it. After checking files, it reported "0 file games failed to validate." I also tried scanning the drive, but it kept saying there was a problem. When I deleted a partition from it, the process failed, and now clicking the drive shows "G:\ is not accessible." It’s unclear if the drive is damaged. Please advise!
Replace the M.2 storage device. Review its S.M.A.R.T. information—it likely indicates failure. If it starts functioning later, attempt to transfer all data you need, hoping to recover what’s available. It seems the drive is probably defective. Since the model isn’t specified, I can’t reference exact specifications, but many brands offer diagnostic kits or guides.
