So, the ssd was definitely the problem. I picked up a new one, had some issues with the clone, but now everything is up and working. Thanks for the help.
“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

That's what I figured. When the one in my son's computer started to fail it was behaving similarly.
I was lucky that is the only thing I had to replace. Nice getting it correct the first time.

why did the ssd fail ? that is a better question imho.
I don't think any of us even knows why it worked in the first place. We just buy these things. Then they work. Then they don't work. And for all we know it could as well be caused by magical gremlins inside our hardware.
