Odd SSD Behavior

[Dicehunter]

Noob question, 1 of my storage SSD's, 2TB WD NVME, Was acting up and causing Windows to freeze and become unresponsive, I looked at the Windows Error checker and it said in the little pop up box "this drive has errors please check and repair" I decided to format it and this error notification went away in the error checker, Then I used Windows built in error checker to scan the drive and it said the drive is now fine as well as Windows no longer oddly freezing.

As I haven't encountered this before I have no experience/info on it, Could it have been 1 or more corrupt files on the drive causing this issue ? As it doesn't seem like a format would fix an actual hardware issue.

You haven't said what the drive is.
A full format should fix any bad blocks by remapping them.

Which specific model?

There were issues with 24H2 and WD drives with no DRAM like the SN770.

If you use WD SN770, WD SN580 or WD SN5000, you will need to download Sandisk Dashboard and update firmware to latest version, Sandisk pushed out critical firmware 731130WD for SN700, 281050WD for SN580 and 291020WD for SN5000 to fixed Windows 11 24H2 BSODs and errors.
