How to tell if SSD needs replacing?

I have a late 2015 27” iMac with a 512gb SSD running Monterey that won’t boot up, but I can get into the recovery mode and access the emergency partition just fine. When I try repair or reformat the SSD nothing shows up in diskdocor. If I go into the terminal and enter “diskutil list” a bunch of partions and volumes show up.

Is there any way to determine if this is a SSD drive failure or just a software problem I have to figure out?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Map_guy,

While this does sound like a software problem ( I can't tell yet, as it has symptoms of a dying one, but also doesn't have much else from your account), I would advise you to try to restore a backup from time machine if you have one, or backup your existing data if possible to the cloud.
