Does ublue add any weird changes that

Does ublue add any weird changes that might be related to ncq read errors when accessing my SSD? I ask because this drive served me well for 11 years, and when I switched from Workstation 38 to ublue 39, the problem began. I had attributed it to using a section of the disk that was previously occupied by an unused Ubuntu partition, but now I'm not so sure: the same disk in an external M.2 enclosure seems to work fine, no read errors (which were easy to reproduce when it was screwed into the laptop)

Anyway I'm installing afresh to another, annoyingly slightly smaller (but faster) disk that I had lying around, let's see.

none, we're all stock 2011 sounds long in the tooth, does the smartctl thing work on getting the lifetime value out of it?

smartctl said it's all just fine. Anyway when I came to copying from the dodgy drive to its replacement, it did indeed periodically flake out. So I am going to go with "the drive is bad"
