I'd check for high temperatures. Small cases don't often have great cooling and NVMe devices using an m.2 slot sometimes need a heatsink to help effectively cool them down.
My CPU is currently +50.4°C, but under transcode loads, I've seen it as high as 95°C before it self-throttles. My m.2 SSD is currently,
Under load, it runs about 10°C hotter than spinning disks do - so 55°C is about the highest I've ever seen. Some enterprise 10K rpm HDDs run hotter.Code:Disk: /dev/sdb Current Temperature: 45 Celsius
For example, can you guess which is the enterprise disk in this list?
Hint, none are SSDs.Code:Disk: /dev/sda Current Temperature: 39 Celsius Disk: /dev/sdc Current Temperature: 47 Celsius Disk: /dev/sdd Current Temperature: 35 Celsius Disk: /dev/sde Current Temperature: 38 Celsius Disk: /dev/sdf Current Temperature: 34 Celsius Disk: /dev/sdg Current Temperature: 33 Celsius
If a name-brand SSD doesn't support SMART, there is definitely a connectivity issue. Kingston will support SMART. BTW, new, reputable, SSDs fail from time to time within the first few months. All storage fails, so having backups really isn't optional for anything you don't want to lose. A 2TB USB3 spinning disk is just $50, so there is little chance that the time needed to recreate that data will be less than $50 of your time and effort. Especially if you actually got a 2TB SSD for media serving? Srsly? No need regardless of the media involved. A cheapo external USB2 HDD would almost certainly be faster than needed to provide streaming 4K videos to the house.
Page faults can be caused by bad RAM. If you had a Ryzen, I'd say to stick with DOCP settings, but back off on the speed a few hundred Mhz to get a stable setup and perhaps raise the voltage +0.05V. With Intel, all I can say is to run memtest for at least 24 hours straight.
