    Your system comes with an embedded eMMC drive, and eMMC drives have a shorter life than traditional SSDs due to fewer writes allowed before failure. Your system is five years old, so it wouldn't be too far out of line for the drive to fail. It's early, but not too early. They use eMMC drives on these model due to cost, it's a fair amount less than the regular SSDs, and that translates into a lower cost to the consumer. Your system doesn't have provisions on the motherboard for a different drive type and replacing the onboard drive is likely not cost effective. :( Time for a new system…
