If I were u, I would simply fully erase the SSD (after backup all the data).
If the problem still persist after that, I would not use that SSD again. (it may cause more troubles than u can imaging

since the erase trick work, I guess it just fine, can continue to use it.
btw, modern SSD is not designed for cold backup, pls use other method instead.

No worry, thumbdrive and microsd card are designed for that (especially good quality one) ,and we usually replace it with an newer/larger one , long b4 its healthy become a concern.
some microsd card even locked itself into readonly mode to protect your data integrity, if sth abnormal was detected.

For important data, u really need multiple backup. use an usb SSD as the only backup is not a good ideal, IMHO.
I'm not talking about the data integrity , I believed it shall be fine (mostly, if not all), the stablility it is .
Pls imaging that ,someday, If u suddenly find out your 1TB or 2TB USB SSD which hasn't been touched for 7 to 10 years is as slow as an USB2.0 thumbdrive (while copying data out), It would be a nightmare (u have to copy it out, regardless how slow it is ,coz it is ur only backup) .
and if u have more than one drives like this to handle.. (although it may not necessary happnening this way.)

p/s: Eject the usb storage properly b4 unpluging it from any device is very imporant, it is the best way to reduce data corrupt.

yes , it is fine (mostly).

hardly your false, my guess.
U only used it for 40 hours.
Try to RMA it probrably a good idea.

p/s: btw, If u accidently unplug the usb cable while the ssd is writing, that might be another story.
