Please, am I in danger of losing data?

Please, am I in danger of losing data?

[David Krider]

I get an lot of these messages these days. They don't fill me with
confidence. I've searched the internet far and wide. I've filed bug
reports with the kernel and the Ubuntu bugzillas. I've posted to this
list. I'm not finding any solutions. At this point, can anyone just
please tell me: Am I in danger of losing data? If so, I guess I can
shelve my SSD until this stuff gets sorted.

The SSD may be about worn out, or it could be a flaky sata cable.  I'm 
using rotating media, and I have so far collected 4 bad sata cables hanging 
on a cabinet knob, all made of the exact shade of the infamous copper 
eating red plastic I've had trouble with for 40+ years.  If your cables are 
red with a hint of magenta, give some other color of cable a try.  The red 
ones?  At 3 years old you can get any resistance you want on an ohmmeter, 
just flex them.
