Hello, this early 2015 Macbook Air, running Monterrey, has frequent kernel panics. Having looked at advice on here, I've run an Etre Check report in the hope that someone can let me know what I should do next.
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.7
I completely agree with @John Galt. You have 27 Kernel Panics associated with that third party SSD. Of course this assumes that the Logic Board is in working order and has not suffered any accidental liquid damage.
OWC sells a drop in replacement SSD for this model laptop and OWC offers support for it as well.

Thank you all for the replies. I know nothing about hard drives so have taken the advice on board. However, this is the third hard drive that's been installed in this machine, and the kernel panics have been a regular problem with all three. The logic board has been tested twice and found to be fine so I was assuming, with my limited knowledge, that it was a software issue.
I ran the free Drive DX and got the attached result
Start by replacing the aftermarket SSD with one manufactured by a company known to support Macs.
You can use Drive DX to possibly get a better view of Drive health…
Sorry about that. Does this work?
DX report not showing here.
Yes, that works. Drive looks good, mulling what else it could be.
Apart from the hard drive or an application that's causing a conflict, are there other reasons for frequent kernel panics? Otherwise I think we just need to go through all the apps one by one.
Most often it'd be a Hardware problem, or file corruption.

We've uninstalled the Pen Tablet software but the kernel panics are still happening.
Now reinstall the OS & do another etrecheck report after a bit.
