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
