Mine just arrived - had a manufacturing date of 03/17, so that should be at least a 3 year warranty

I have not even dl'ed it yet since I dont have my drives. But I'd assume we will see on the drive which one is running on it atm;)

I received my 3.2TB drive today. But the SMART info indicates only 99% life left, and 108 accumulated start-stop cycles. Is it possible that the SMART info is not accurate?

Edit: also, the temperature goes up to 39C as soon as I pop it in, whiles my other HGST/Sandisk SAS SSD maintains at ~35C under use. This drive seems to generate a lot of heat...

Here is the SMART info.

I did not have a chance to plug this in today. Still seems odd since you are at 0.27 power on hours or just over 15 minutes.

On the 35C I have seen that more than a few times on the thicker drives due to being packed with more components and still a 2.5" drive cooling form factor.

This is interesting, could someone else who received their drives run some smart test and see the result ?

So I did a quick benchmark and what concerns me is that, during the test, the temperature reaches 49C!! As a companion, all my other drives are under 40C, see image below.

The normal operating temperature from Micron is 0C~50C. If the drive's temperature goes above 50, would Micron still honor warranty?

Do you have forced air through your case ?? I have a sandisk ssd & samsung U2 NMVE that gets super hot unless there's alot of air movement through it. I ended up rigging a dedicated fan in front of these drive in my workstation.

A family member works a Micron and was able to procure a few for me. They are big and run very hot!!! you will need some good airflow from a proper server case! Even so, all 4 of mine have died in a short time causing IO freeze on any system they are plugged into. My family member says they also go through tons of them at work and has to replace several a week. I wouldn't want to have paid full price with the failure rate I've had on these. All the same, best of luck to any of you who got them and can keep them running. They are huge drives for that price. Maybe the trick is in the new firmware. -Cheers

The big SAS drives you always want in a proper server case. Not just these.

I am using Supermicro 846 case with modded 120mm fan wall. Both slots above and below the Micron SSD are blank. So where should be enough forced air flow around it.

120mm with lower noise fans? Are all of the other drive bays filled with full size 3.5" drives or blanks to preserve airflow? What are you using for 2.5->3.5" conversion/

You can also try something like this Western Digital 705234 Caddy Hard Drive 2.5" to 3.5" Adapter Raptor WD IcePack | eBay

On smaller consumer drives, it doesn't matter much. On these 3.2TB drives and even the Toshibas you'll need to be especially careful with cooling.
