My friend's SSD suddenly stopped working for him, at first it would error in windows saying files/folders are missing, and then stopped working completely in his PC, wouldn't even boot when its connected, sometimes would show "unallocated", its a generic SSD although it has DRAM (Silicon Power A55 1TB), it was used just as a game SSD, no OS or anything, just installed games.

When I put it in my PC it worked just fine, I just hotswapped it for one of mine, didn't even have to reboot, made some problems later but now works fine, the stats are attached here, total NAND writes number looks insane compared to r/W, I work in IT but dont have deep knowledge about storage, so any help to understand whats going on is much appreciated, and also to know if the disk is dying and shouldn't be used or its still usable, and what procedure should I take if its still fine to use and just needs fixing.
