The storage device ("/dev/nvme0n1") is likely to fail soon!

[Ihor_T]

Hello.

I tried to upgrade Windows 11 to Version 24H2 on my HP ZBook Firefly but received the Error Code 0xc1900201.

And almost immediately Windows gave me warning message "SSD subsystem reliability has been degraded" ... something like this.
I rebooted the system to OpenSuse Linux (dual boot). And linux also gave me the warning
"The storage device WD PC SN810 SDCPNRY-1T00-1006 («/dev/nvme0n1») is likely to fail soon!"
I tried nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0 and the result is

Please tell me, do I really need to buy a new SSD as soon as possible and take care of backups?

That is what I would immediately do before logging on again.

If it crashes, you may lose all of your data and programs.

i'd appreciate if you could advise me the right tool to backup the whole SSD. To be able to restore both dual-boot Linux/Windows systems as is.

There are many reliable utilities to make an SSD image.

I have had good results with Macrium Reflect and Acronis True Image .

[Ihor_T]

Thank you. Will try.

[erico]

In Power Options, disable fast start before you make the image.

I managed to make a backup using Western Digital Acronis True Image. But now I am about to buy the new SSD. And I found that my model (WD PC SN810 SDCPNRY-1T00-1006) is no longer available.

I'd appreciate if you could recommend a suitable model for replacement.

Just about any single-sided NVMe PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD up to 4TB will work.  2280 format.

Thank you!

You're welcome!
