Nicholas, I understand this might be painful to accept but from what you’ve described I wouldn’t trust that SSD again; it’s toast.
There’s a thread about a particular model of WD SSD that had some copies just carc it for no apparent reason. The FW crew were tracking occurrences in this thread: [TRACKING] WD_BLACK SN850 sudden death.
If yours is the same model and you purchased it from FW, add a response to the above thread and contact support with a link to your response.
