Questions:
- Is the WD Blue SN570 1 TB suitable (healthy/reliable) for further use?
- How to overcome the write issue?
- How to prepare (erase/reset) the WD Blue SN570 1 TB before installing Debian?
Hardware, NVMe: WD Blue SN570 1 TB: firmware afi: 0x1, frs1: 0x4457303031343332 (234100WD), Notebook i5-11250, 16GB
OS: Debian-Linux 11 or 12
Issue(s):
-
During installation of Debian-Linux the WD Blue SN570 1 TB disappears and the installation process cannot be completed.
-
During Disks-Benchmark tests (gnome-disk-utility 43.0) the WD Blue SN570 1 TB disappears and the test aborts. (test parameters: read&write, 10 samples, size 100 MB, but smaller size like 1 MB reduces the risk of abortion).
-
During copying 25 GB of user data at once (backup of entire folder structure) the NVMe disappeared and the copy process aborted. But copying manually folder by folder succeeded.
Successless Actions:
- Memory check: Notebook passed a 12 h memtest86+ → without error.
- nvme format /dev/nvme0 --namespace-id=0xffffffff –ses=1 → still the NVMe disappears
- smartctl –all /dev/nvme0n1
→ HealthTest: PASSED
→ Power Cycles: 24,421
→ UnsafeShutdowns: 23,293
→ 31°C
→ No Errors Logged
No idea, what the meaning of these smartctl-results is. The high numbers do not look very safe. Yet smartctl-result says PASSED. What is the right conclusion? How to go with this NVMe? Can anyone help me with this?
(I haven’t run Windows on this notebook from the very beginning and I’d prefer to stay away from Windows.)
