I'm not sure how to answer that. It's an nvme drive that I bought for this pinebook pro, so was new though I've had the pinebook pro for some time.

I was getting similar errors when trying to install the internal eMMC of the Pinebook Pro. That emmc chip is the one that came with the PBP, so presumably new.

I thought it was may be my SD cards and USB sticks, so I bought a new USB stick.

Now when I say the nvme and emmc are new, that means that I'd never used them in anything but the PBP. I have  owned them all for several months. But they have hardly been used besides maybe a hour of playing with the Manjaro the PBP came instlled with, an install of Diet Pi which went well, but which I never did more than play with for 15 min. None of my many many debian installation attempts has gone well.

So, should be new, hardly used. Is there some test I can run on my eMMC and nvme drives to test them? Like memtest for RAM?
