The initial failure was due to a filesystem issue, followed by a GPU-related problem. Both CentOS and Ubuntu were installed on the identical 256GB SSD, and the Ubuntu version functioned properly for two days.
According to what I understand, a 256GB SSD isn't a brand-new one. When they fail, the faulty memory part is replaced. If it stops working, it will just become smaller until it stops functioning completely. If you connect it to a Windows system, you can use hwinfo64 to look for drive issues. It seems possible that missing files or corrupted drivers/kernel might be causing the problem.
I purchased it three years ago and it was a 256GB SSD. I was looking to save as much money as possible since it's still a Samsung product, though not the biggest one. I haven't seen any SSDs fail after three years of minimal use—just light activity.
You can find more details about it elsewhere. I'm not suggesting your disk is the issue, but I'd like to verify if there are any errors. Bad sectors on SSDs, wearout—this usually leads to failure. This information comes directly from the page you referenced. Bad sectors can appear on solid-state drives, including SSDs with SATA, SAS, NVMe, M.2 connections, as well as flash drives and memory cards. We often assume they only occur after heavy writing, but that's not accurate. In one case we dealt with, an SSD used lightly for office tasks showed bad sectors. Thankfully, early detection helped, and the backup was successful despite some recent Windows updates corrupting a few files.
Ok so i took the drive out and put it on my windows machine, here's the crystal disk info: As you can see, everything is fine so in theory, the problem isn't comming from the ssd. About CentOS, it is working fine, at least for now, hope it stays that way. EDIT: Apparently, doing this broke CentOS lmao, it refuses to boot, the only reason I was able to find in the journalctl is: /dev/sdc3 (my boot drive) excluded: device is not in devices file I search on the internet and asked chatGPT about this but found nothing. This is a perfect exemple of my luck with linux lmao (Precisions: I did nothing more than plugging the drive in my windows machine, check it's status in crystal disk, unplug it, and plug it back in my CentOS machine) Edited October 8, 2023 by arjules I'm cursed
The default Windows PC starts without issues, while CentOS fails during boot. You can still reach the root console, which helps you view logs and confirm the device isn't missing from the devices file.
