I had enough of repeated disconnects on my #Samsung 980 Pro #NVMe storage, ordered a couple of midrange #Kioxia replacements & hope the critical servers don’t give me any problems in future.

@dch one of these? yeah mine went bad like that too

@feld yep same ones. I’m going to see if I can send them back and get some €€CASH$$. What I see is repeater controller disconnects on every system I have them in. Did yours actually fail completely?

@dch Just the disconnects. Sometimes randomly kicked out of my mirror vdev, sometimes nonfunctional at boot. Manually adding it back in to the vdev and forcing a scrub wouldn't show anything so I wonder if the flash itself is actually good but something else in the controller is flaky. It did not start exhibiting this behavior until a year or two into service.

@feld there was a firmware upgrade about 18 months ago that definitely helped https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-980-pro-ssd-failures-firmware-update I see there’s a newer one on Samsung site now

@dch @feld shit, I have two of those. Now I need to find the way to install Windows to update firmware ​
