So I have an Samsung 850 pro ssd and it seems like every month or so my computer starts having issues so I format it and start from scratch and it works for a while but than starts having issues again, any ideas besides RMA to get it working better?

I do not believe so, what exactly is rapid mode? I used Samsung magician to set it to max reliability mode to try and help.

I'm pretty sure, ran checks on my ram and it's all in good condition. On the smart status for the ssd it fails the "incorrectable error count" and "ecc error rate".

I believe the term is "Uncorrectable error count" but either way.......
Where exactly do you read these SMART readouts...

My 840 has also errors in "ecc error rate" but none in "uncorrectable error count"

ECC is, to my knowledge, a error correction control - it corrects errors occured in the memory.
"uncorrectable error count" could suggest that it had to many errors that could not be corrected......just my guess,
either way i think you should get the thing RMA´ed.......

I haven't screwed with the drive at all, only installed it and set Samsung magician to max reliability, didn't even try a firmware update.

Setting drive to max reliability is screwing with it
