Hi Gene,

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.
To point this out: it was only exactly this model from Samsung: SSD 980 PRO,
which isn't working properly.
Repeat: only Samsung SSD 980 PRO.
It can be fixed by a Firmware upgrade, and more recently charges of Samsung SSD
980 PRO are flashed/sold with a good Firmware out-of-the-box.
While I am saying that my results with earlier Samsung have been less
than glorious. triple layer nand's turning into half capacity for instance.
Best regards,
Klaus.
