At the bottom there is an imgur link to the things I've tried if you do not want to go to reddit.


This is a thread on reddit that I made with an imgur link of everything I have attempted to fix the issue.

Cmd attribute remove readonly says it works. It doesn't work.


Also I know the drive isn't failing. This was part of a larger issue with windows 11 doing an update and somehow screwed up both my m.2 and the other ssd. I fixed the m.2 with a lot of work.

I haven't found a way to fix the ssd.

Your drive is in read only mode.
This happens, when SSD exhausts all write cycles or a critical SMART parameter on drive is tripped.

Diagnose the drive with SSD manufacturer specific tool
Then replace it.

Make and model of your SSD?

how did you come to that conclusion?

To me it looks like the drive has conked out, most notably the controller.

Ok here's the full story.
Yesterday I woke up to my PC being in the bios. 5 hours sleep, and my pc no longer found an operating system on my m.2 drive. Both hard drives worked 5 hours before and I had just played a game on the one specifically in question the night before.

I don't know if it was a windows update that caused this corruption to happen or what, all I know is I had to go through hell to get my m.2 just to start working again.

My m.2 which was running windows 11 the night before somehow changed to a completely different format overnight. I had to go into the drive and each partition manually with cmd diskpart and format it back to GPT and NTFS, (cleaning the drive and all that too).

Midway through this I had trouble getting the m.2 to work so I said screw it and tried to just install windows on the other SSD. So I formatted it. Fast forward to now I got the m.2 working, but the other ssd is in this state.

I somehow put the ssd into RAW when trying to make it the primary OS and it's readonly.

Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB

My m.2 if you want this information - Samsung SSD 970 EVO plus 1tb
