I have a Agron m.2 case with the USB adapter. I was using it for about a year or so before the adapter or m.2 case PCB died or stopped working. So I replaced it with an external sabrent m.2 exclosure which fixed my issues for a few months. Then my home assistant instance started to slowly malfunction. The ui started to stop working and became practice unresponsive. I can navigate the UI but nothing seems to work. I know from previous power down and hard resets that eventually it’s just going to stop working completely and I won’t be able to connect to the home assistant at all. I just replaced the m.2 case PCB and the USB adapter for the case as well as got a more reliable SSD. I used Macrium Reflect 8 to clone the current PIs SSD to the new one and put everything back in the case. Turned it on and it didn’t work. So I took the old SSD and plugged it into a different USB port and nothing changed.
I’m not sure if the SSD is dying or if there’s a problem with the OS becoming unresponsive. Trying to figure out how to manually check the logs. As I cannot restart the system and don’t seem to be able to SSH into it either. I’m thinking of manually powering it down and plugging in a monitor to the pi to see if I could get a copy of the log from there or something. My worst case is reinstalling and then restoring backup, which I really don’t want to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
