980

I had three drives go through RMA process with Samsung in 2026. Completely awful experience, most of the process occurs through text messaging. I paid $379 for a 2TB m2 Samsung Pro 980 in 2021, still within 5 year warranty period, after two months of having the drive, they offered me $179. When I as

It’s fair to be out of the loop. If you’re not a big MS shop or heavily into MDM there is a good chance you would never know. I had absolutely no idea about the 980 Pro bug (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-980-pro-ssd-failures-firmware-update) which I was told everyone knew about. I found

You're effectively trying to make an argument about this without providing proper details. So I'll do it for you. Smaller external HDDs that can be powered from a USB port are indeed built worse than larger HDDs which would require an external power supply to turn on (because they demand 12-volt pow

Interesting experiment, but one thing that makes the results feel a bit incomplete is that the “consumer SSD” side of the comparison isn’t really well specified. The enterprise side is very clearly defined ( ALL Micron 7300 MAX 3.2TB drives) but the consumer side is mostly just described generically

I have a lot of bluetooth devices and this, perhaps in combination with Home Assistant, was causing bluetoothd to write a lot to the ssd, wearing it out pretty fast, projected use time only a few years. Instead of actually solving it I got a datacenter SSD that survives writes a lot better and moved

I do hope Louis wins this. Samsung as the manufacturer shouldn't suddenly have a higher liability for the product just because market prices are higher. They set the prices first, followed by the retailers, therefore it is arbitrary. If their supply costs for manufacturing increased, that's the cost

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

That'd be great. Both my Samsung 980 pro and my WD SN500 don't work...I'm reluctant to spend until i get more confirmations. At least for now, it works as long as it's in my enclosure, and plugged in via usb. Thank you!

I dunno i got samsung nvme 980 1tb and games run like shit, loading times are atrocious cant figure out why

I have no idea. But typically i would backup 2x then wipe as part of doing firmware. Apparently there is a generation of Samsung nvme 980, and 990 firmware that cuts the functional ssd lifespan to half. Which is why I commented.
