While not always 100% correct I would check drive with Smart Status. help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools If you have gnome and then gnome-disks, it is in icon in upper right corner. Or install: ubuntuforums.org/…

@oldfred I actually do have a Lexar SSD with the same problem as OP – the SMART equivalent for NVMe is clean as can be. So, don't put too much hopes into that.

@MarcusMüller I'm curious about how can everything seems fine in a health check but the disk fails in a real world scenario. Any idea what could be happening in these situations?

@Moltimor these health checks simply don't check the same things as whatever fails. No magic there – the firmware of the drive simply can't try to read everything in self-check, nor can it try all possible combinations of commands and controller firmware state when doing a test.
