Afaik : that can be done. But performance will really, like seriously suffer.
You found the threads about : "change the 5100 disk ?"
I presume you have the "not MAX version", and are using a way smaller emmc drive, and it went bad.
It's still within guarantee ? Contact Netgate TAC.
If not, open it up, get yourself a new drive (50 $ ?), install it, and you'll be good.

@Gertjan so thestorage of this netgate SG-5100 is removable? its not built in to the device?

the smallform factor nvme still bad?

Exact !
I presume - can you confirm - that you have the normal version, with the emmc drive ?
Adding the "M.2 SATA drive" as mentioned, and you transform your 5100 a MAX version out of it (for half the $ ^^) - the version you always wanted (but you didn't know why - now you know ).
Because this new drive uses another storage technology, and because the new drive will be way bigger, so less changes to "over use" it, you be good until the end of times.
I still advise you to look for all the forum threads about this subject.

And yes you can also try install to usb disk, if you have one.

I'll kick start you : here, a couple of cm or inches above :

and then :

and hit start.

Already the first thread listed is a good example. You'll find more.
Read them for 'general info'. You'll known afterwards what and why it happened.
You probably find examples how others solved it, found a drive, how to install it, how to set up etc.
