M.2 Corsair MP600 Gen.4 died after 3 years of usage

[mcRYSHER]

Hello everyone!

About a week ago I noticed intimidating symptoms of my PC. Random reboots with BSOD even when performing a simple task such as renaming files. The worst BSOD and reboot happened when I was playing videogame. PC rebooted and I got "unmountable boot volume" BSOD right after the BIOS.

 

I used a bootable USB and loaded CMD and DISKPART to check the disk condition. In my PC I have two M.2s. I noticed that they mixed their letters. I mean, disk C: became D: and vice versa. I used DISKPART to format the faulty M.2 but formatting was unsuccessful. I received "Error - Incorrect function" message from DISKPART.

 

I took off the faulty M.2 and plugged it into my laptop. I tried to perform a quick format using Windows 11 disk properties->tools->format. That worked for a while. I tried to copy some files to this disk and faced error message from windows and the disk became "unrecognized USB device". I used m.2 USB-enclosure, by the way.

 

So, another quick format and disk works again. Full format is always unsuccessful, by the way.

 

I did some tests and they show a perfect condition of the disk.

Spoiler

 

I wonder, Is there anything that can be done to fix this issue? May be some sort of 'advanced software' of whatever? I mean, the M.2 is not completely faulty, but definitely something bad happened to it.

You mean using Corsair ToolBox? Corsair deleted it from their website. I am not sure how to do it. Googling doesn't help much.

OK, so I tried Corsair ToolBox. Updating Firmware failed. Secure wipe failed. So, the disk is still usable for copying files, but cannot be used as a boot disk. Sad but true.
