My XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE SSD turned read-only out of the blue, and CrystalDiskInfo is showing a health status of "100% bad". I'm really worried since I bought it last year and I've been told by a tool (ChatGPT) that I should save my files quickly because it might fail. It currently shows a temperature of 52°C and there's no rotation rate since it's an SSD. What are my options?

This situation really underscores the importance of having a solid backup plan. If you have backups in place, you’re in a good spot! If not, make sure to copy what you can right away.
First things first, back up all your important files to another drive immediately! This SSD sounds like it's on its last legs, so the sooner you can save your data, the better. After that, consider investing in a new SSD to replace it. Don't wait too long; these things can fail without warning.
I had a similar experience where my wife's desktop showed 100% bad health for months. It eventually died, but thanks to daily backups, I was able to recover everything quickly. So, it might last a bit, or it could fail in a minute. Just make sure you have your data backed up!
Funny, I came in to ask if it was an Adata drive since they’ve had some issues with drives becoming read-only randomly.
I see it is an Adata model... I understand why you grabbed it at that price, but those issues can be a real pain!
