So for a while i have had 3 m.2 drives fail on me but not fail in the sense i cant use them. the problem is randomly the drive will cause most games i play to freeze for 5 seconds before returning to normal and then freeze again for 5 seconds after a minute and do this for a few minutes. suddenly the games will run fine for a good 30-60 minutes, then sudden start having freezing issues again for another 10-15 mins on and off before returning to normal again.
In event viewer i get mostly event id 154 failed due to hardware error (only get this message 2-3 times during a gaming session even if my game freezes 5-10 times with in the hour) and on one occasion i had the drive retired error. how chkdsk finds no error, sfc /scannow finds nothing and the smart status is fine and showing 98% healthy with 16000gb writes and 13000gb nand writes. quite small for a 6 month old drive. also the last 2 drives did the same thing after 6 months each.
Could this be a motherboard issue?
