SSD help needed
I have a Dell XPS 9500 and installed a 1tb Samsung 860 Sata m.2 as the second drive when I bought this laptop a couple months ago. So far everything has been working great.
Over the last day i've had the SSD stop getting recognized in Windows after a few hours of the laptop being used. When I restart the laptop and check the bios, it is there and being recognized so I know the SSD isn't toast. Initially after restart, everything works fine but eventually it stops recognizing the SSD.
I'm not really sure where to take it from here. Any suggestions?

You'd need to start trouble shooting first to rule a few things out.
Do you have another M2 SSD to try the port? or another PC/Laptop with M2 to try the SSD?

check for bad blocks, run crystal mark

I hope that's not the case as I only bought it a couple months ago. I thought SSD's were more durable than this.
I went to take it out of my laptop and found that the mounting point you screw down the SSD to had come off from the mother board some how and i'm thinking that this might have been this issue. I still haven't tried the SSD on another computer yet but that's the next step.
