So
I had just ironically backed up all my user profile data as I had just enabled the file history feature to get incremental backups of various files on my system. By default this all libraries on the system.
Typically I have always disabled windows search as I have never liked i/o during idle for no benefit (I dont benefit from indexed search given I never search, other than start menu search which doesnt need idnexing to be fast or dir /a /s in command prompt), however this has to be enabled to utilise the file history feature.
After the files had been copied to the backup drive, 5am came and windows started indexing files.
I was reminded why I disabled the feature as lots of i/o and cpu cycles been used, but then suddenly my 850 PRO (boot SSD) suddenly hit 100% active time and stayed there, windows stopped responding and eventually froze.
I hit the reboot button on my PC and the post just waited and waited until the dreaded no boot device showed up, I went in the bios and all my drives there except the 850 PRO.
I power cycled and thankfully its back, but I have read other's stories in the past and this is the sort of thing those guys reported before a permanent death.
Do you guys think I should RMA?
I am within the writes warranty limit, I think but not 100% sure the drive is under 5 years old.
Is funny that people recommend disabling indexing to prolong SSD life, and it triggered this event, I know its just coincidence but is funny still.
