REPEAT SSD FAILURE SAMSUNG

[Nbd508]

Hey guys, I've got a strange concern reoccurring.  I have a bunch of different Samsung SSD's but one model in particular.  My 500 gb 850 evo has failed 3 times on me.

To explain the concern:   Installing a game from steam ie:DOOM   aprx 75gb install.   The files completes the install (very slowly) sometimes the drive gets stuck at 100 percent usage at all times; even when not installing.  After complete the files are left incomplete; validate and reinstall missing files, same concern missing files.   Also noticing the entire pc stutters when the drive is being written to.   Samsung magician software status is OK but shows errors all over threshholds and the Crystal diskmark testing shows a reduction of 20 percent in speeds from original.  FORMAT the ssd and reattempt same concerns. 

Installed doom on another drive no concerns at all. migrated with steam to the 850 evo and the same concern, missing files not all written.

I'm really posting here for theory not diagnostic. 

 Why could this one ssd be repeatedly failing?  The first 2 times I sent it back to Samsung they claimed there was no concern with it at all; that drive would stay at 100 percent usage 0 data transfer at all times. could be read but not written most often.   This is the THIRD "new" replacement from them  and its only been about 6 months and it's failed again. 

TIA!

I would replace sata cable. And check twice if it's plug right.

and you've changed to port it's plugged in to right? You make no mention of confirming it's not your motherboard or anything else.

Check cable and port, a slower drive can cause these types of phenomenon, but a slow interface, bad or loose cable can cause this type of issue.

I have used two different ports and cables; I do not believe it is related to the MOBO;

The first failure was on a completely different z270 mobo with a smaller psu;  This failure is a newer MOBO and PSU; which came with new SATA cables.  Sorry for lack of info.
