My Kingston 240G SSD has suffered some strange errors. While it had Windows 10 installed on it, it just reset to previous state after every re-boot (meaning no file changes whatsoever, uninstalled programs were back, deleted file were back, and new files gone).
I installed Ubuntu on HDD and tried to format the SSD using Drives. I get the error: `Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object(udisks-error-quark,0).
Installed GSmartControl and tried to run a diagnostic. This is most I can get out of it.

Also tried some finally, i tried some HDPARM commands (im new and have no ideea), but they returned with permission denied.
Was wondering if my SSD is just broken (turn in for warranty) or if there is some software / firmware problem that can be fixed. Anyone had similar problems? Any help would be appreciated!
