Yeah, I agree it is very unlikely to affect someone’s laptop.

However I dislike a black and white “This will not” absolute fact statement: even if based on reasonable assumptions which is what appears to be the case versus detailed knowledge.

Most laptops don’t run their SSDs 24/7, and unless a manufacturer’s error affects a lot of consumers, we often don’t find out the cause of consumer equipment errors in my experience.

If the OP has a laptop older than 2020, with an SSD with a crucial chipset (especially if SATA), and they leave it on most of the time, then maybe check SMART hours.
