Question SSD becomes inaccessible after a while

[GITNJIGGY]

I've been having this problem lately where my Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB SSD will become inaccessible at random after an X amount of time. Nothing seems to provoke it in doing so it just becomes unresponsive and unrecognizable by the computer but visible in the file explorer. As easy as it sounds to replace the SSD its in a very hard to get to space on my motherboard and underneath my water-cooled GPU which would be very annoying to take out. I've run plenty of smart scans with the Samsung Machian software with it reading nothing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 Extreme
CPU: Intel I9-13900K
GPU: Nvidia 4090

Temperature wise it hangs out at around 120 F. I ran the update on the Intel chip with no luck in helping the SSD. Storage wise it still has 8 45 of the 1 TB free

Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer.

Are there any error codes, warnings, or even informational events being captured/logged just before or at the times the SSD becomes inaccessible?

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (orginal to build, new, used, refurbished)?
