I have two nvme disks on my my framework laptop, one for the OS and one for data. Started using it a bit more often these past weeks. One day, I forgot to suspend it before putting it in my backpack. When I got home and opened it, I noticed it was very hot but things seemed to be working fine.
Last week, it started showing some issues when booting and yesterday it completely failed. I wasn’t so worried because I thought it was only the OS disk, but during fsck my main data partition was gone as well.
So, I guess that overheating is responsible for the disk failures. I’m wondering if there is a way to reduce the chance of this happening, and/or any recommended setting for BIOS to protect it (maybe undervolting?)
Why do all windows/Linux laptops have crappy power management?
This should not be your problem. The manufacturer should have handled this for you.
Well, they don’t. I am on Linux and there is no point in arguing over “shoulds” unless you tell me that there is any other FOSS kernel that can support the hardware and software applications that I need.
I feel your frustration man. There’s exactly one manufacturer that gets this mostly right, but it’s famously not FOSS and not super compatible/customizable.
