SSD keeps going read only (self.techsupport)

So I own a Lenovo legion 5i laptop and I installed a brand new mushkin Vortex 2tb NVME SSD last year. But it has gone into read only about 30 times since I got it but smart reports 0 errors. I reboot my machine and boom fixed it it takes place in windows and in Linux often in the middle of my work so I can't save again. I did like to fix this issue but don't know what to do as there are no errors.

The drive is gpt and has multiple partitions of which my NTFS partition has the most problems as it sometimes requires a reboot of windows even when it worked before in Linux. But my swap and ext4 partitions also fail. In total there are 6 partitions 1 large NTFS partition, 2 large ext4, a swap partition and a bios and fat partition for tripple boot. My OS's are up to date and are windows 11, pop_os and Gentoo. My other samsung drive never has this issue. But my laptop has had a motherboard replacement and a ram replacement since I got it last year.

I hope you can guide me in the right direction. Thank you for at least reading this.

What makes you say Spinrite isn’t compatible with an SSD? It is actively developed with version 6.1 due out any day bringing additional SSD support.

OP’s SSD is under 2.2 TB and OP is only looking for diagnostic information only. Spinrite will probably give more details than necessary.

SSD's suffer from different, but closely related, troubles due to their having so much data crammed into such a small space.
