Welcome to the world of SSD... unfortunately SSD failure is more scary than HDD as if often showed no sign of why and when it is gonna happen. I used to had a work laptop which I swapped the HDD with SSD. Those early days low capacity SLC drive with dram cache some more. Even that failed suddenly around a year or so. Luckily I backup everything when it started to hang occasionally whenever I arrived at work (never shut down). I never expected the drive to fail though, therefore I just back those autocad files that I needed just in case. The ssd was only half filled (60GB).

When was that?
My laptop just change to ssd about a year ago.
It show bsod when i just changed to ssd. Surprisingly the problem just gone like that after i update the graphic driver. Now it seem to come back, on n off screen freeze with weird sound.
Ssd doesnt last long huh? Or the 1st few year ssd is of poor quality?

It was a pretty old laptop and ssd still in infancy state that time. Personally I felt like the hibernate or sleep not working properly. I always had bsod or hang initially. Then I turned off every power saving (since I don't use battery) and leave it on forever like a desktop. Never thought it would fail around 1 year+.
