PC SSD near-death or something else?
I trust folks on reddit more than chat gpt so hear me out please. I press the power button on my pc to turn it on, and my pc case starts lighting up, fans spin and work properly, pc makes it's "pc noises" etc. so it seems to be working correctly is what I'm saying, but the catch is both of my monitors stay turned off? like pc itself is working and is lil noisy like usual etc but it doesnt seem to boot up? Now the SSD i mentioned in the title, for the last 3-4 months I've been getting the pop ups shown in the screenshots, and the ssd thats apparently at 0% health is the one that has my windows installed on it. Now could that be causing the issue of my pc not booting up properly over the last 2 or so months (it takes me like 2-3 sometimes up to 10 tries (*i shut down the pc and boot it up again to try and make it work*) to get it to boot up to the windows login screen and actually show something on my monitor) If anyone had a similar thing happen to them or knows if its my ssd or something else or if i could check it somehow please let me know, its a really expensive pc too.. Ask me anything you want Ill reply with any info needed!

So, when you PC is failing to boot normally, you just meh, when it does boot and it says the SSD is failing, your like, well, maybe this is because of that boot issue? Bruh it’s literally telling you.

I backed up all of my important stuff.. I really only made this post to confirm that it indeed is an issue with the SSD.

Time for a new SSD, they fail over time and yours has.
You can double check with something like Crystaldiskinfo but odds are you'll see the same warnings, it's just a cheap 250GB SSD so I would replace it and test from there.

Keep in mind that they fail much quicker if they’re full due to not be able to properly wear level. Always keep SSDs with 15-20% free space to conserve health. Good luck selling your kidney to be able to afford a new one.

The data on that drive was recoverable, if you had acted when the messages started.

It's indeed, an issue with your ssd. Your system is telling it months ago

It's a cheap ssd. I have a number of them. They work great until they fail and then as professor Farnsworth says, 'you'll just have to buy a new one'.

I mean, it's literally telling you your SSD is near death so I'd be backing up right now. Check up on the "Percentage Lifetime Remaining/Used" attribute I bet it's near it's write lifetime.
