Running Windows 7 off on 5 year-young XPS Minitower with excellent specs.

what do I need to do to resolve today?

 

2. *comment: never received any alerts before RE: SMART. Does that suggest suddenly component failure?)

1. Replace failing SSD.

2. Yeah, that's how it is ... components eventually fail.

If you find that there is:
-  a firmware update for the SSD
- it still formats
- Crystal Disk-Info or Passmark SMART says it's OK, now

... you can try it again after fdisk and formatting. I suggest you Over-Provision it this time.

However, I would still move it to a lesser or unimportant role and watch it closely. First sign of trouble-again, RMA it or trash-can it.
