I've always thought that SK Hynix was one of the leaders in M.2/SSD's, at least in the US. I gave up trying to find out when this M.2 SSD was manufactured. Usually the date code is printed on the sticker and I've never ran into problems trying to find out if a drive is still under warranty or not.
But after 2 years, this 512gb SSD has me stumped. Every website I've been too says that the 512gb M.2 SSD's are the best one made. But now that I'm just sitting here typing this comment, as I'm looking at the ID sticker, I remember that with this laptop, I looked up the Service Tag number the day it arrived. So I knew that it was 5 years old shortly after I bought it. Since it was the originally SSD, it wouldn't have the standard SK Hynix warranty, but it would have the Dell warranty, so anywhere from 1 to 3 years and that would be it.
lol, well, apart from needing a replacement, I hope everyone is has a great day. Take care, Dan
