Wasn’t that the drive that got insane write amplification due to a firmware bug?
Edit: yup, definitely wasn’t cuz you were actually writing to it an unusual amount. Those drives would wear themselves out during normal use for seemingly no reason. I’ve been hibernating to a WD Black for years, and it’s fine.

I’ve updated the firmware the same week it was reported in tech news, still bsods randomly. I use a new drive now
The firmware update couldn’t fix damage that had already been done.
The bugged firmware was actually killing the drives by wearing them out prematurely.
The fixed firmware only stopped damaging the NAND storage, but there is no way for it to undo damage that had already occurred.
An ssd functioning normally can deal with years and years of daily hibernating.
