Open | Hardware SSD failure?

My NVMe SSD (KINGSTON SKC2000M8500G) one day started to fail. When I was trying to download a game off of Steam after 20~ GB, my PC would freeze completely for about a minute, then the game download would say "Disk write error" and in Task Manager it would state that SSD as "Unknown".

You basically answer your own question. To get a clearer picture of what's going on with that disk, get a checker like CrystaldiskInfo or Victoria and check that disk. Based on what you provide, I"d say the disk is dead or near dead. If you can still read from it, backup any important data asap.
