Since I replaced my HDD with an SSD (ADATA SU650) on my laptop (HP Probook 6470b) I've been getting semi-consistent filesystem corruption on two different linux installs, the first one is debian 10 and the second is arch linux.
I would sometimes get a corrupted filesystem when booting, and a prompt to fix it with fsck. Sometimes some files would get corrupted too. This last time my system didn't want to boot and I got stuck on GRUB, booting on a live cd got me this:
I plugged the SSD on a windows machine and used adata ssd toolbox and it seemed healthy. Here is also a smartctl test, I'm not sure how to read these results:

The SSD was brand new when I used it the first time, could it be faulty? Or is the problem with my laptop?
