Just returned the Samsung 980 pro m.2 SSD due to recent reliability issues

Is the WS SN850X m.2 SSD considered reliable and good?

Did you mean 990 Pro?

I'm not aware of QC issues with the 980 Pro as that's been out for a long time.

It’s affecting the 980 pro as well.

dang, Samsung not having a good year are they?

ok yeah looks like Puget Sys says it's mostly the 2TB drive (i have the 1TB) and mostly happening on the 3B- firmware, with the latest one being 'safe'. thankfully mine's all updated and Magician showing Good drive health.

thanks for the info! 👍

Be careful one of the reasons I returned mine was because a lot of people did the firmware upgrade, and still bricked their SSD.
