When I ran CrystalDiskInfo on my SSD, I got a message saying it's Bad 99%, what does it mean?

System instability generating WHEA uncorrectable errors is most commonly RAM. Could be timings at fault or could be a faulty DIMM.

Run memtest off a bootable USB and check your RAM is stable. Also, fill in your system specs or at least list them here if you can.

That bug did not damage or hurt the drive - it only affected the data. But it should be pointed out, there was a work-around to recover the data, but more importantly, the bug has been fixed. So if you keep Windows current, it will not affect you.

And to that, it only affected a small handful (like 10 or so!) of SSDs where chkdsk /f was run on them. If you have not run chkdsk /f in the last month prior to the fix patch, no worries.

Yes it is true - the wear and tear on the SSD is about the same as driving your car to the grocery store shortens its life due to the wear and tear.

If you format it 100 times a day, then you may need to worry. A couple times over the life of the SSD is extremely insignificant.

Bill, my understanding is KB4592438 is the build 19041.685 and is the most current up to date build.
Can you point me to a patch?

How many times do you want to do it? They are very durable so it doesn't concern me.
If the drive is already bad it may kill it completely but then you know the drive is bad ---> then Warranty Claim.

Okay so I'm gonna format the SSD and hope it works. Thanks for the tips guys

If the problem still exists afterwards but things seem to operate normally then I would wait until Microsoft has a patch / Cumulative update and then see where things stand. (I don't know how widespread this is (SSD /Brands and what controllers are affected)
In the meantime I would still contact Biostar.
