Try a secure erase and try again... Read speed and IOPS are fine so I don't think its quite dead yet...

Can do it via a USB stick flashed by Samsung Magician (See data management --> Secure Erase)

Alternatively via Linux... https://grok.lsu.edu/article.aspx?articleid=16716

Thanks I'll try that, I've got the pc running with a old mech drive, windows 10 flew on it.

why not just check the smart info for the drive? use crystal disk mark or hd sentinel.
16mb/s sequential write is worse than usb2
