Storage Solutions Samsung 990 Pro Issues

[soulweaver]

I have been meaning to buy a Samsung 990 Pro SSD but have been reading reports of their health failing prematurely. Did anyone experience anything like that? @Ankit Manchanda could you offer any inputs?

I think it was a bug specific to one firmware version which has been patched, so there should be no issues now if you are buying a new one and update to latest driver.

reading reports of their health failing prematurely

Actual health is 100% only but due to bug it gets reported lower or bad. No ssd goes bad within 3yrs unless used over the limit.
