Most listings for these do have pm1725 in the title so i suppose the clues are there indeedI do believe this is basically a 1725...
This is more or less what you should do with all SSDs these days..there have been so many bugs from many vendors, although especially Samsung seems to have a rather bad track record there..If it's a 1725, make sure you can update the firmware. The older firmwares have serious bugs.
Yeah, but where's the firmware? Wé're forced to truncate Dell's and hope it works?This is more or less what you should do with all SSDs these days..there have been so many bugs from many vendors, although especially Samsung seems to have a rather bad track record there..

Thanks. I was whining more generally about Samsung SSD firmware. I have a ton of SM863 and there appears to be no firmware freely available.Maybe try the one in this thread: https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...-nvme-hhhl-aic-ssd-new-999.28527/#post-272865
That's the second latest firmware.Received mine today. Came with firmware KPYAIR3Q which I believe is one minor revision behind latest?
Smart info - 44,209 power on hours and 2.5PB writes. Reporting 6% used. Could be worse.View attachment 26278
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what the “spare available” is referring to. With your drive having 84% available, does that mean that 16% of the blocks are “bad”? Does it mean that of the rated 3.2tb, you can only use 84% of it?That's the second latest firmware.
Your numbers look good. 6% used is nothing. The one I got is also 6% used but unfortunately shows 84% of spare available..which isn't so great. Not too worried though as this is my cold spare (have a couple of these in use and wanted a third one should one fail).
Spare is the space used for fixing various issues (bad blocks, performance etc) with. It is not a part of the nominal space (i.e. 3.2T in this case). Most if not all SSDs have have such an area but NVME drives tend to report it better than SATA/SAS in my experience.I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what the “spare available” is referring to.

Thank you! That is very helpful to know. I bought one as well, so we’ll see when mine gets here how its health is. Assuming mine comes similar (say 80s% spare) when’s a good timeframe to check for continued progression of decay (weeks, months, ect)? I assume writes are what are likely to cause continued loss more so than reads…Spare is the space used for fixing various issues (bad blocks, performance etc) with.

Basically 84% spare remaining means it's had to repair itself at some point by taking some of the saved-for-the-rainy-day capacity into use. Not ideal but not a disaster either as long as that number stays put..
You'd probably want to keep an eye on it the same way as you would monitor reallocated sector count elsewhere.. Not quite the same thing but ideally you don't want either value changing.Thank you!

Generic 'LSI style' SAS HBA brackets work fine. They're rather inexpensive on ebay etc.Anyone have a suggestion for a readily available compatible full height bracket for this card?
Thanks! I couldn’t tell from looking at pictures if the screw holes lined up.Generic 'LSI style' SAS HBA brackets work fine. They're rather inexpensive on ebay etc.
