I had an ADATA SSD die on me recently after less than 1 month power-on time with negligible write throughput. Tons of reallocated sectors and it failed by refusing any further writes (after having previously caused some unexplained FS corruption a day earlier). (thread)

given your usual flash eraseblock is 4KB (or more) this is entirely possible - a drive with PLDP or an SLC cache might be able to avoid this, and an Optane drive would be totally fine with it, though - maybe that SSD has unusually large eraseblocks and very low endurance/overprov

you might be able to send a secure erase command to it and have it reappear with a few GB less capacity to confirm?

Could be - this one got RMAed, but I might try to trigger the same failure mode on the replacement and see what happens.
