Do you all RMA your SSD?

[Steyr69]

and worried that some of your data could be retrieved? I read most times would be controller problem.
once replaced with new controller chip, the ssd should be working again....with all your data intact.
For the same reason, I also dunno whether to RMA my handphone if got some issues.
Not prank question, but I want to hilght the risk involved.

IMHO.
Use a software like VeraCrypt to create a secure container on your storage device.

Just enable bitlocker on all drives.

Phone OS normally will try and encrypt your data. Which I guess is a right thing to do since people tend to trade in or sell their used mobile phones. Normally SSDs, I am not too sure. So far I have not RMAed any so far.

If you want to sell your ssd, motherboard like Asrock, Asus and MSI except Gigabyte have build in Secure erase through BIOS.
Secure erase will wipe all data on the SSD, SSD unlike HDD chances to recover files are none.
RMA wise really depend on the issue like cannot detect, SSD disappear etc.
I won't name which brand are prone for failure since it still depends on usage.

That's normal for most ppl, the SSDs I have used in the past 4 years have yet to spoil, and are still at 90-95% Health in CrystalDiskInfo
