The internal hard drive inside is the SSDPR-CX400-256-G2. The common problems for this hard drive include:

• Slow Read/Write Speeds: While SSDs generally offer faster performance than HDDs, some users report slower-than-expected read and write speeds, which may impact overall system performance.
• Firmware Issues: The drive may experience stability problems due to outdated or corrupted firmware, leading to unexpected crashes or slowdowns.
• Overheating: In certain situations, the SSD may overheat, especially in compact laptops or under heavy usage, potentially causing performance throttling or drive failure.
• Data Corruption: In rare cases, users have encountered data corruption or file system errors, which may lead to lost or inaccessible files.
• Compatibility Problems: Some users have faced issues with the drive being incompatible with certain systems or motherboard configurations, particularly if the system firmware isn't updated.
• Sudden Failures: Though less common, the SSD may experience sudden failure without much warning, leading to complete data loss.
• Limited Endurance: SSDs, including the CX400, have a limited number of write cycles (TBW - terabytes written), and heavy usage over time can reduce the drive's lifespan.
• Power Loss Recovery: In the event of unexpected power loss, the SSD may experience issues with data recovery or may require a complete reformat.
