Found your problem. Also fuck off with your barbarian language.

Lowest quality possible controller with TLC NAND.
You get what you pay, shitty SSD at lame prices.
Get a ADATA SP550.

>SP550
but that's also TLC, and same price as the hyperX Fury, with slower write speed.
kingston is literally THE worst brand you can buy for an ssd
the order goes:
samsung > sandisk > crucial
dont pay more than $80 for 512gb
dont pay more than $170 for 1tb ($170 is still too much, $130 is the real bite point)

Something doesn't add up here. MLC NAND is supposed to have ~3000 write cycles before being unable to write more data (still readable in most cases).
That means all drives should have at least sustained ~360TB write cycles before not being able to write more data. V-NAND is supposed to withstand ~6,000 writes cycles.
Are kingston controllers THAT bad? I thought only OCZ was in charge of shitty controllers.

This. I've bought multiple adata ssds and none have failed me so far despite being used in servers.

3D VNAND with a Marvell controller? That's the same stuff that the Crucial MX300 has. Must be some of the leftovers Kingston is getting after Crucial hoarding on quality parts. And don't expect custom firmware from Kingston either.
i got the cheapest ssd that the store here had. been working fine almost a year now.
