Hi everyone,

I have a HP EX920 NVMe PCIE 3.0 SSD 256GB SSD installed on my Inspiron 5000 laptop, the kids are using it. In the past few days, they said they can't install programs, can't executing existing program and a lot of missing dll issues. So I tried it and a lot of files can't be read also. Here is the report on the SSD: I didn't see any SMART error, but the "Media Errors" concerns me. Is the driver dying?

I'd be concerned, that number is pretty high. As per definition of Media Errors:
Contains the number of occurrences where the controller detected an unrecovered data integrity error. Errors such as uncorrectable ECC, CRC checksum failure, or LBA tag mismatch are included in this field.
