I am using Arch Linux. The laptop works fine, except for this occasional yet annoying issue.
It is only 6 months old and it is in its warranty period. However, since the issue appears randomly, I am afraid that sending the laptop and requesting it to be repaired would only result in a waste of time (and money), as they would probably detect nothing unusual.
I feel it may be due to a firmware issue, but upgrading the firmware of Kingston SSD devices is officially supported only on Windows.
I am considering the idea of replacing the SSD with a new one to see if the issue persists.
