Is it possible that your motherboard or PSU is killing the drives?

Could also just be sheer chance, of course.

Poor voltage regulation from the motherboard or power supply could glitch the controller of the drive causing I/O errors or failures.

As an example, an old Asus board of mine has trouble with modern m2 drives. A PICe m2 adapter solved the problem and the Samsung ssd worked without issues thereafter.
