I have a Samsung 850 EVO (500GB) and yesterday my laptop was unresponsive. I had to do a hard power off.
After a few minutes of usage, another crash. This time I was able to switch to the console and I took a picture (see attach, I'm sorry for the quality).
I moved the disk to my desktop computer to make a backup, but at 30% the disk died. After a reboot, I was able to read the disk again. I could backup almost everything. The problem seems to be some large torrent (~100GB) that I was downloading.
I ran fstrim manually two or three times the past weeks, but I had no problem doing so.
Is the disk damaged/dying, or is just a kernel issue?
