I don't know ... but I also assume you'd want to verify for yourself anyway ... so would you like me to send you the SN for them..? My guess is at least the EVO 870 are likely to since I believe they had a 5y warranty and haven't even been out for 5y ... the PM983 are HPE oem, so those I'd assume do not have any ... but I was the original owner of those and wrote 10-15TB ... and read ≤22TB ... and as drives with a 1.3 DWPD endurance have more than 99% of their life remaining. The Evo 860 are unlikely to have any, but I can provide those to you also if you'd like them..?

Would you like the Evo 870 SNs..?

@TrumanHW

Remaining drive health on the u.2 drives? Are you open to offers?

It's nuts that flash is so cheap now. When I first discovered STH around 10 years ago, I built a NAS with 8 x 4TB desktop Seagate drives that cost more than these are going for.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I was more curious than anything as a factory warranty increases their value to a buyer. I bought an 8TB QVO drive a couple of years back so no need for any ssds atm. Of course I say this and that's when something will happen and I will need one stat, lol.

FYI, I bought 2x 860 Evo 4TB drives from this seller and one of them has 2.2 PB written

Isn't that drive only rated for 2.4PB?

 

[mrpasc]

Even for consumer SSD the drive rating is „worst case“. Different write pattern generate different wearout. If most writes has been larger and/or sequential writes the real wear out will be significant less than if it was all 4K random writes.
What’s Samsung SSD tool box saying about the health?

While I might consider that omission intentionally misleading especially noting low writes on the other drives, did you ask?

No I didn’t ask up front and obviously I should have. I think at the time I may have conflated the usage numbers from the SAS drives with these.

Full transparency, I purchased these right at a month ago but didn’t get around to testing them until a few days ago. Also these numbers may be slightly higher than they were when received as I ran bad blocks and some ZFS tests before checking the usage.

The other drive only had 17 TB written. I sent the seller a message a couple days ago but no response.
