I’ve acquired a second hand Thinkpad T14 recently (gen 1, Intel version). Running Fedora Gnome.

The SSD seems fine.
I tested it with Gnome Disks; I filled the drive with files and checked their integrity; also copied files around, on drive and from USB. No issues.

But many downloaded files become corrupted. The download finishes normally, but if If I try to open said files they fail (in the middle of a video for example) and if I copy them I get an “input/output” error.
LAN or WAN, over ethernet or Wifi, it doesn’t matter.

Could it still be the SSD? Or maybe a driver issue?

Thank you for reading!

    Is there any chance this could be caused by malware on their router? I’m puking this right outta, well, you know where; just curious if the evidence would even fit my theory…
