@physx Hi :⁠-⁠) In the end that's basically what I did - I've bought an M.2 to SFF-8643 adapter with SFF-8643 to SFF-8639 / U.2 cable and I've mounted the SSD next to an intake fan. It's not in the best orientation (vertical instead of horizontal) but the temperature still went down by about 15...

I have bought a different adapter ("U.2 to M.2" similar to this one) which allowed me to move the SSD to a better ventilated location in the case (not without problems). The temperature went down by good 12-14C to far more acceptable 46-48C.

This is a desktop PC with mesh front and a rather good airflow (SilentiumPC SG7V). The SSD is placed in the bottom PCIE slot of a B550 Aorus Pro V2 motherboard using an adapter like this: U.2 PCIe 4.0 Adpater for 2.5 inch U.2 SSD (SFF-8639) (with open back). I did read that the U.2 SSDs have...

Hi :) I can confirm that this has been a problem with configuration. I was able to solve it by running the hdm command: hdm reset-to-defaults --path /dev/nvme2n1 The only problem was that the link I've posted has a Windows version and it requires a driver that's not included. Instead I've...

Thank you very much, I'm going to try all your suggestions. @111alan Where can I download the software from? The only link I can find is: Application HGST HGST Device Manager 3.4.0

I think CrystalDiskInfo always shows the full useable capacity but I'll try smartmontools as well. That was one of my ideas as well but I cannot find any tools to manage the over provisioning for WD SSDs.

Hi, I don't think it was just a label swap, as the model number on the label and in firmware both match and point to the 3.84TB version. Serial number also both match. I forgot to attach the pictures previously (sorry for Polish CDI): I've bought it on Allegro which is sort of a Polish...

Hi, I have bought a WD/HGST Ultrastar SN200. The SSD was supposed to be unused and have a capacity of 3.84TB. When I unpacked it, I've noticed that on the sides there are very light traces of the disk being mounted. They're barely visible and impossible to show on a photo so maybe it's just...
