Question SSD with EXT4 volume partially working

[LeftGamer]

Hello there!
We have: Samsung Evo 860 from office with Elementary OS and Samsung Evo 870 from home with same OS. Both are 500GB.
About a year and a half ago I bought an 870 and cloned an 860 to it using CloneZilla, everything worked great.

Issue:
I took an office drive and put it in my computer, but it refused to work until I disconnected my home drive, there was a black screen with blinking underscore.
After a working day, I connected my home SSD back, but it is not visible in the BIOS and Windows. After some manipulations, for some reason, it began to appear in Windows Disk Management, but nothing can be done about it: an input and output error.
Tried to use EaseUS, it was able to detect the free space and EXT4 file system, but the operations also showed read/write errors.
Through CloneZilla, from time to time this disk is shown as 0GB and without a serial number, otherwise it gives a read error at startup.
The software for updating the Samsung firmware also does not see it, just like the Samsung Magician.
I tried to do something through the Live-CD terminal, but no luck here either: errors in reading the superblock.

Spoiler: photos

Before disconnecting the drive worked fine this night.
I need to at least make it work in any way, I don't care about data loss. Any advice?

UPDATE: I will no longer torment the disk myself and tomorrow I will give it for diagnostics under warranty. But still ready for hearing any advices, explanations, theories etc

I'm lost. Which model drive isn't working? The Samsung 870 EVO is notorious for reliability issues.

Haha, sorry, this all seems confusing ikr.
That's right, it was 870 who died.
Can you please tell me more about the 870 known issues? I haven't heard anything about it

Samsung 870 EVO - Beware, certain batches prone to failure!

That's just one example. Even this forum is littered with such reports.

The issue seems to take several months to appear. It appears to manifest as silent data loss, that isn't noticed until something tries to read the degraded data. Some people thought all was well, until they ran a scan and found numerous bad blocks. Eventually, the drive can experience catastrophic failure and become totally inoperable. I have not seen this myself, I'm just sharing what I've repeatedly read. It is uncertain if the issue has been resolved in newer variants of the drive or with a firmware update (which I worry may simply mask a hardware issue).

Damn, this is huge. Didn't know anything about it.
The worst thing is that for my birthday on the 20th of june, my girlfriend gifted me a new 870...
Thanks for the info anyway! Now I'll be more careful and check my main Windows drive (a new gifted 870 ) more often

What size, manufacture date, and firmware version? There is supposedly a new hardware revision. I believe firmware SVT03B6Q comes on the new ones. I've seen a 1TB manufactured 2023.5 with it. It's still not certain that this resolves the reliability issue but hopefully it does. I'd recommend using Samsung Magician (or some other software that does a full read scan) to test it occasionally and also keep an eye on the SMART attributes. As always, be sure to keep good backups.

Thanks for the hint about the Samsung Magician, I'll see how things are.
By serial number - production date December 2022. Magician says that the firmware version is latest - SVT02B6Q

As for the dead drive - according to the diagnostic results, the store confirmed that the drive is dead. Issued a replacement for Kingston KC600
