Guys, I have a Surface Pro 5 in hand. However, I can no longer boot the device up into Windows, it is always stuck on the UEFI manager.
I tried to repair it myself through Command Prompt and even attempted to use Microsoft Surface Data Eraser. Through CMD, I cant cd into the C drive. I cant even list the volumes and partitions on the disk. Through Data Eraser, it is telling me something is wrong with the primary disk.
I suspect there's a hardware failure with the SSD, can someone advise me?

I would have been fine if the device ssd died after like 5 years. But 2? Wtf microsoft
I need to iterate that microsoft is clearly aware of the problem since all new surface lineups are introducing removable ssd sticks. Bai bai microsoft, macbook here I come
despite the storage is soldered, I konform it will outlast that shitty surface. Not to mention, Apple gt official service centre
Even if I go and swap out the motherboard for my SP5, I doubt it will last. I looked up on the internet, seems like a common issue so its not worth to spend a dime to repair it...
The only choice I have now is to get a USB stick and snuck in portable Windows. At least it doesnt become a worthless shell.
