Hi!
I have a bunch of sticks from that (in)famous drop years back, all Micron 5100 ECO with PLP (a big array of tantalum caps), 960GB capacity.
They have been rock solid, including some in USB external enclosures.
Today I had one die for the first time with very strange errors during a sustained write/copy. It was *not* abused and nowhere near the lifetime / TBW limit.
I tested it with ASMedia and other controllers in USB enclosures, and the stick just does not come back (it isn't negotiating a link with the USB enclosure controller at all, no SCSI commands pass through). I'm interested in doing forensics of the controller itself in the SSD (have lab access, microscope and microsoldering experience). If anyone has similar experiences, let's discuss what you found out!
Any specific diagnostics in the PCB that could rule out any component failures (passives)?
