the windows crashed after an update, and i was trying to install a new windows. the windows 10 installer was not able to format the disk, tried the cmd, diskpart also didnt work, doesnt give any error tho but not formatting.

I moved the ssd to another pc. it still acting weird every time i format it comes back exactly with the same data they were in, even if i delet the data manually they come back after the format.

is this a corrupted ssd? or is this a new way prebuilt pc (acer aspire) do to protect their devices?

I tried 3rd party software, cmd from USB ... still same result

When an SSD is near end-of-life, it becomes read-only to preserve data, if your lucky (if your not as lucky, it's not even readable).

What might have destroyed it is excessive write cycles, caused by Windows 10 automatic defragmentation, or caused by Windows updates.

Microsoft may have fixed these issue by now, so a new SSD may fare better... or another OS might be more gentle to it.
