Well it is nice to stay current with the news about your harddrive. Wheren't there are some point some SSD from Intel or Samsung that would eventually brick themselves unless you applied some firmware?
I remember having patched some SSDs for this very reason the last time I worked on on premise bare metal systems.
- EvanAnderson 2y agoThe SSD firmware failure mode you're describing was a thing: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/705/fn70545.html https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/705...

Yeah, that was a thing with older enterprise SAS SSDs a few years ago. HP, Dell, Lenovo, Cisco, etc, all affected as they all rebadge the available hardware manufacturer's drives. And several manufacturers have had bricking-firmware problems over the years.
- numpad0 2y agoStay current with news is good, stay unproven with firmware isn't.
- jonhohle 2y agoCrucial M4s certainly had one around 2010/2011. They would “fail” after 5,000 hours.
- eliaspro 2y agoIt killed a whole fleet of processing unit in our lab back then which had been all put in service at the same time, ran 24/7 and then failed all within the same night.
- NikkiA 2y agoA year or two after that I had an M4 that after a certain period of uptime would just stop responding to commands, thus acting like a dead drive until power cycled (a reboot was not enough). There was of course a fw update available and it did fix it, although I don't recall it being listed in the changelog.
