Intermittent recognition of SSD, becomes read-only
I've encountered this issue twice now (at least) and it makes me wonder if the drive is dying.
It's an NVMe drive with my Steam games on it. I have 4 total drives (3 NVME and 1 HDD) and this is the only drive affected.
Here's how it usually plays out: I try to play a game. The game gets stuck during loading. I try to verify files and it fails because, surprise surprise, the drive is somehow in read-only. It's viewable and explore-able in File Explorer, but I cannot make changes to it. At this point, CrystalDiskInfo won't recognize the drive and chkdsk says the file system is RAW. After a restart of the computer, CDI will see the drive and chkdsk says the file system is NTFS.
Is my drive dying?
