the nvme command is:

sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0

if media_errors is more than 0 you're probably hosed

Don't think BTRFS has anything to do with your defective drive OP!

if you buy the cheap consumer stuff the warranty is godawful*. the pricier consumer lines and the business stuff has been good in my experience


*this is true of lenovo and hp too, they just also have terrible business warranties

prosupport isn't the default for any consumer lines, iirc, but it is an option. it's default for business though.

there's also a more expensive prosupport option that just means they will fix user problems too

Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:
Be glad that drive poo poo the bed before you had any effort and data invested.

However, a drive making GBS threads that many errors could also be a bad connection. If it's socketed, it may be worth taking it out and putting it in again. Just be gentle doing it, especially if it's your first time handling it.

That is, if the lunatics at Dell consider this user serviceable. If not, don't touch it.

e: I've never looked at mine.

unfortunately (or fortunately, maybe) that won't reset the smart counters, so even if that is the issue now, the drive will always show a smart failure. it's definitely better to replace it, especially since it's a warrantied part
