Fucksake.

PC just booted with "Reboot and select proper boot device" screen.

I've got a Samsung 950 PRO M.2 512GB NVMe SSD as the boot device and this ain't showing in the BIOS.

Anyone know what the lifespan of an NVMe SSD is? Did I just find it out? Any clever ideas?

Depending on how you heavily read or write to it, 5/10 years?

First step is remove, reseat, reboot. Next is testing outside the machine, do you have an enclosure/another computer to test it in?

It's ~8 year old.

I had a look and I can't get to it without removing the massive heatsink. Which I don't know how to do yet so I'll need to google that thing - it looks like it should just unclip somehow.
I don't have any other machines these days, at least, not desktops to test with.
