Which drive (as in brand/model) did you run it on? Some of them have thermal issues.

Nope all drives O.K
What brand.. And games don't usually kill SSDs its usually just a defect or malware.. You should still be under warranty.

That's a bad drive. No drive should be conking out after 4 months. Not the game at fault here.
the easiest way to kill a drive is to download stuff at high speed while playing a game that requires to load stuff from hardrive.
high speed writting on disk while reading on disk is the best way to break it, even a new hdd can die with this.

when you play a game , just play a game and don't download movies, games or whatever at the same time.

Absolutely nothing in this post is true btw. Not that random number accounts are bastions of fact, but Chat GPT could have done better...

I know Kingston but they are considered a cheap brand, i'd hit up their support, you have at least 12 months warranty.

If what you said is true, then you can supply an article on it because a simple google search shows multiple sources out right sayings no it does not.
was talking about hdd, ssd don't have this problem. it says hdd in my post.

Check to see if it's still in warranty and then RMA it. After getting a replacement, search "Kingston FURY Renegade 2TB firmware" (without quotes) and download and install the latest firmware for the drive.

Okay, let me get this straight.

The post thread is talking about NVMes.
And you just threw in a random tidbit, that I still am not even sure that is true and still would like a source, about HDDs?

Wrong.
  1. The remaster wouldn't run from a HDD - more likely it'd crash.
  2. It would stutter while moving outdoors on a slow SSD, but might be playable.
  3. Even a bargain NVMe wouldn't be pushed hard by this game.
  4. The proper term is "hard drive", not hardrive.

  1. See above - no one uses platter drive anymore for gaming, and the OP has an NVMe.
  2. Solid state drives (SSD and NVMe drives) use solid state technology, with sustained read/write speeds far in excess of that which most games require.
  3. The technology called "write endurance" ensures most modern NVMes won't die for many years after purchase
  4. The only thing really able to kill a solid state drive quickly is stuff like certain crypto farming. The average open world game wouldn't even begin to impinge on that limit.

Wouldn't matter. IOPS and throughput on an NVMe mean it can easily handle multiple requests to the same volume at the same time. More likely the CPU or GPU would be a bottleneck, but that's not what the OP mentioned.

Cinemax was absolutely right - your post has nothing of substance to it.

Will do. Thanks for the recommendation on updating the firmware.
