That's interesting (in a morbid sort of way).
Do you know if fwupdmgr will detect out-of-date firmware on the drives?
I'm sorry, but I don't know. I only became aware of fwupdmgr afterwards.
At least the replacement Samsung SSD was detected by fwupdmgr on my last run.
Best regards,

interesting comments here. I've been using SSD's since 40G was the
biggest. The 256G spinning rust, now 15 years old is the only spinning
rust left here. And I've drawer full of samsung 860-870 series drives
that have all gone wonky but not RO yet.. I now have a mixture of stuff
from Taiwan in 2T and 4T sizes, all healthy. I guess I was not the only
one that got questionable drives from Samsung. This is the first time
I've seen them discussed in this context. Thank you for saying something
out loud.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
