M.2 SSD Failure - very suspicious - Three failures!

Latest BIOS.

First failure 128GB ZTC after 31 days... second was Sandisk 64GB after 2 months.... third another Sandisk after 11 days.

Truly suspect something wrong with the M.2. implementation on the T450... and likely many others.

Symptoms: Disappears from the Operating System, sometimes mounts R/O, mostly fails to even find at boot, sometimes entire machine freezes (needs powerdown).

SMART data showed all three drives were 100% OK (just as the troubles began and before total loss)... somehow I believe the ThinkPad corrupts the SSD.

2020: P50/E3-1535M/24GB/3xSSD/FHD

2007-2018: T450, T520/i7, X200s, T500, A31p, A30p, T42p, X60s, X32, X31
Gone but not forgotten 1998-2006: 2006 T43p 2668-H2G (2GB/60), T22 2648-8EG (128/20) 2005 X40, X31 2004 T30 SXGA+, 600X, 2003 770 P233+DVD Card, 760XD 1998 760XL+104MB
