Is it faulty?
Hello guys,
I bought a WD Blue SN5000 1tb almost about an year ago and recently for the past few months I've been dealing with BSOD (not blue but black screen of deaths) on boot. All the codes I got suggested it could be ram or ssd but I focused on the software side of things and it allowed me to keep going for a while. Until one stop code (0x154) made me question the hardware.
Long story short, I discovered it doesn't crash when I disabled the WD drive but then it starts doing it occasionally when it is enabled. I updated the firmware for it through the SanDisk dashboard in hopes for a fix but it hasn't really done that.
I'm just really confused on how come is this 100% health drive, practically lightly used, is causing the crashes. Has anyone faced an issue like this and found a solution that works? (Preferably not involving a replacement, thats gonna take a while even though im under warranty)
