Hello guys.
Yesterday when I came back from my college I start up my PC and then I found out that my windows is very laggy in fact i could not open "This PC" folder or any type of command.
So I restart my PC and it's the same problem
So I went from trying to boot up my windows to format the whole thing and it got stuck here : https://postimg.cc/DJtCdNBC . I tried it on the other M.2, same thing happens.
So I eventually take out my M.2 actually both of them and tried it on my brother device.
And then I found this : https://postimg.cc/nsqYfLk1
Does that mean both the M.2 is dead?
Do I need to buy another M.2?

Mentioning the make and model of the drives in question would add some context to your predicament. Often times the drive itself was made with subpar components or that the drive was on it's way out a while back. You could also try and see if your SSD is pending any firmware updates(if it's made by a reputable brand that provides that after sales service). That message in the latter image is it saying: "I'm done, no more, please."

Do I need to buy another M.2?
If the drive is under warranty, then no. Just RMA.
