Have you seen: Fix your dead SSD with the power cycle method - The Silicon Underground (dfarq.homeip.net

I wonder if some workloads designed for rotating disks end up rewriting the same storage 
location resulting in early death of SSD's 

I would check for reports of similar issues from other users with the same hardware.  Also
consider if the system is in an harsh environment: high humidity, frequent thunderstorms, 
extreme temperatures.   CPU cooling can be an issue with dual AMD CPU's in 
cases intended for CPU's with lower heat output.   Overheating of CPU's and chipsets 
can cause all sorts of failures.

can help with harsh environments or marginal quality connectors.  At work we bought a 
bunch of systems that had low-quality drive cables that would fall off  when a system was 
moved due to low spring tension.  It is possible some cheap M.2 sockets could have similar 
issues.
