FYI - my Samsung 970EVO Pro died after 4 months of use. Spare capacity at 0
I got my new PC for about 3 or 4 months. Today, I was using my PC as usual and suddenly everything stopped reacting. Rebooting just boots be into the UEFI interface. Which is very concerning.
Then I got a liveusb to look into what's happening. Upon using smartctl. It shows that my SSD have 0% spare capacity despite only writing 15TB to it.
So far, I knew that Samsung's EVO 980 and 990 SSDs have a firmware bug that can cause this. But this is the 1st time I know of 970 Pros having this issue.
I know there's a lot of servers using consumer drives for their system. Be careful and check if you are using a 970. If so, check the spare capacity RIGHT NOW and decided if to upgrade the firmware or RMA the product.
Cool, and no worries. I really just wanted to test how comments work on lemmy :).
Also I've never heard of 970 pros going bad that fast. Did you RMA it?
Thanks for the command, will have to test a bunch of drives
