[Thinkpad T14] Files become corrupted but only when downloaded

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!

[help] Cheap SSDs for storage

Hi!

2 of my drives failed recently (as well as an external drive), plus my faithful HP Proliant Gen 8 is ripe for retirement (I'm small potatoes compared to you guys).

So I bought a mini-PC (with a N100). I'm considering going all SSDs.

What are the cheapest ones? They can be slow.

Is there a "storage SSD" category?

I've looked at OEMs but they're not that interesting, or I didn't know where to look.
Aliexpress is full of fakes. As is the second hand market. Or it's legit but as expensive as new.

Thanks for reading!
