980 Pro

Yes, that can happen. Had a 980 Pro, that showed as healthy in CDI as well, but as it was benchmarking around 400MB/s read, 200MB/s write, it clearly had degraded, so I got it exchanged through the Samsung 5 year full warranty on SSDs.

Since you've run live OS from usb, that excluded potential problems with Samsung drive - coincidentally I have 2Tb 980 Pro that gave me problems on Windows (hard freezes, not detected in bios until power is disconnected from PSU), and works perfectly fine in laptop and CachyOS.

It’s crazy I bought some SSD drives for $99 in 2022, 2023 M2 NVMe’s Samsung 980 Pro 1TB -$99 Corsair Pro 600 with heatsink -$99 Each drive has gone up today to $287/$294 respectively That’s insane almost a 200% increase for the same size and tech in 2 years time. And several S6 drives, the market ha

I will never buy another Samsung product as long as I live their TVs are ad-ridden, and their OLED panels carry only a 1 year warranty. LG OLED carries 5 year panel warranty (parts only). their fridges are designed to not be repaired and THEY'RE PILOTING ADS RIGHT ON THEM RIGHT NOW their washers are

That Samsung 980 Pro being 6+ years old is probably your main suspect here 💀 SSDs start getting sketchy around that age, especially if it's your boot drive that's been hammered with constant read/writes. The IO1 error usually points to storage controller issues rather than the PCH fan - that fan war

I miss Crucial as much as I miss EVGA. Crucial wasn't the best / fastest, but they were usually the most economical for me and they worked reliably with no frills. I still have some MX100 SSDs in service. My last Crucial purchase was a Crucial P3 Plus 4TB SSD. For $230. Last summer. That was to back

I’ve decided to return the Lexar. Since another user with the exact same motherboard is running a Samsung 980 Pro at Gen 4 without issues, it’s clear that this board is extremely picky about signal integrity. It seems the M.2 traces on this MSI model aren't high-quality enough to maintain a stable G

Ok, I really hope you haven't purchased anything yet. You are buying a full sized ATX motherboard. There are 4 sizes of motherboards (from smallest to largest); Mini ITX, mATX, ATX, and E-AXT. An ATX motherboard will absolutely not fit in that mATX case on the chart, nor the ITX case you mentioned.

Update bios if there is new version, for starters. What's the exact drive model? I had problems with Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB that liked to just disappear in Windows until power is removed from computer, and behaves ok with Arch.

Nah. It affected the 990 Pro, too. From my understanding, it didn't affect 960s or 970s, but I've seen people on forums complain about their 960s and 970s dying early too, so who knows? The 980 Pro was just the model that had the most reported failures. Also, worth noting, the firmware update isn't
