I don't think your suggestion for testing would be sufficient. Everything I've seen seems to indicate that the degradation happens over time, usually a number of months. Such an issue would likely not be apparent right away, even with several full drive writes.
This is mostly speculation but I would not be surprised if the issue was the result of the cells quickly (relatively speaking) losing their charge, possibly due to a defect in the NAND. It seems to happen gradually and people often don't notice until they try to read something that has reached degradation severe enough that the ECC cannot correct it. The drives that completely fail could be a result of something critical, like the FTL, being affected. Again, this is speculation, however it's something that initial testing would be unlikely to detect.
I don't have an 870 EVO, so I can't comment from personal experience. However, I do have a couple different Samsung flash drives and I recently noticed that their read speeds have absolutely tanked (from 400MB/s to 5MB/s) when reading some data that was written only a few months ago. I'm now concerned that these drives may also be affected. This level of performance degradation should not be happening.
