I wouldnt touch Intel SSD. They ship documentation stating read-only failure mode in case of reaching end of life/defects. In a big endurance test some time ago Intel drive simply died and vanished from the system on reboot, followed up by Intel mouthpiece claiming _this is by design_.

"After a reboot, the SSD disappeared completely from the Intel software. It was still detected by the storage driver, but only as an inaccessible, 0GB SATA device.
According to Intel, this end-of-life behavior generally matches what’s supposed to happen. The write errors suggest the 335 Series had entered read-only mode. When the power is cycled in this state, a sort of self-destruct mechanism is triggered, rendering the drive unresponsive. "

- rasz 4y agoIntel bribe scandal was 20 years ago, and they still do it after tweaking (clients receive free hardware instead of straight $) to not be so blatantly illegal. "Cripple AMD" ICC/MKL was 13 years ago yet "Arc 380 drivers do not support ReBar on AMD's Ryzen CPUs, the functionality only works with this technology on Intel's own processors."
