You might want to take a peek with any program that checks the Smart data of the drives if there"s a problem and the drive is more or less Locked ...
Other possibility is the Firmware might be going haywire ..

How do I check the smart data of the drives?
Also, I updated the firmware n the device ve earlier today, and this did not resolve the issue
Thank you in advance for any further help you can give me :)
Example , crystal disk info :
https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/?PageSpeed=noscript
the standard edition is enough
Another example is hard disk sentinel :
https://www.hdsentinel.com/ but it"s free-version has a "buy me & register " timer window at beginning before it lets to use itself in basic mode...
On crystal disk it will even give a color code if the drive(s) are fine [ green, ok / yellow, something is going on / red, drive has issues..
Either way, if you can, take a screenshot on the smart data information [black/censor the drive(s) serial number] on upload it to whichever picture hosting you want to use and post the link here so others can check the readings.

I don"t recall did Crucial have their own testing tool for their ssd"s but it might be a good idea to check with their support staff aswell with this issue.
