If you think your SSD is dying, backup your data and be sure to

That's done. My laptop is quite new (2 months old), Asus.
Could you tell us exact model of your laptop?
What type of filesystem do you use?
Is it possible dataloss was a consequence for unexpected laptop
freeze or shutdown or power loss or failed sleep\hibernation?
I've looked up your SSD on Samsung web site and it appears to be EoL
already. As usual ASUS build their ultra modern laptops from
outdated previous gen scrap parts.
And of course Samsung being all hush-hush about exact specifications
for their SSD products, not even telling NAND type.
You can try to search ASUS support web site for a possible firmware
update for your SSD. Not so long ago, SSDs with poorly
written\tested firmwares had similar symptoms like partial data loss
or worse.
There is a quite recent firmware update for your SSD (PM991), but
from Dell [1] and from Lenovo [2]. I'm not really sure if it will
install on ASUS product, but even its existence is a good sign.
