It's quite possible. Some SSDs are worse offenders for this than others. I have some Samsung 870 EVOs that lost data the way you described. Samsung knew about the issue and quietly swept it under the rug with a firmware update, but once the data was lost, it was gone for good.

Huh, I thought I got some faulty one, mine died shortly after warranty ended (and had a bunch of media errors before that)

I ran into this firmware bug with the two drives in my computer. They randomly failed after a while -- and by "a while" I mean less than a year of usage. Took two replacements before I finally realized that I should check for an fw update

I got bit by this. RMA'd the bad drive and the replacement hasn't had problems (iirc it was made in a different country to the faulty one)
