Hi Yrainy，
Thank you for opening the discussion, hope it helps！
Unlike a traditional hard drive, a solid-state drive has no moving parts that can physically break or malfunction. However, a solid-state drive can still fail due to other reasons, such as heat, firmware issues, bad blocks, or data corruption.
Heat can cause a solid-state drive to overheat and damage its components, especially if it's running intensive operations or has inadequate cooling. Firmware issues can result from bugs or glitches in the software that controls the drive's functions. Bad blocks are sections of the drive's memory that become unusable due to wear and tear or manufacturing defects. Data corruption can occur when the drive's data is altered or lost due to power failures, viruses, or human errors.
When a solid-state drive crashes, it may stop working completely or become inaccessible by the computer. Sometimes, it may enter a fail-safe mode where it protects the data from being overwritten or corrupted further. In any case, a crashed solid-state drive can cause data loss and system instability, so it's important to back up your data regularly and monitor your drive's health using tools like SMART.
