So some time ago one of my 870 EVO drives failed, no big deal, they where in a Raid-5 setup and I just planned to replace it.
Fast forward to today my entire custom SAN died two weeks ago. Backups where good and actual data loss was minimal. But I moved all my SSD drives into a NetApp 24x2.5" JOBD enclosure and now my raid controller is showing them with ECC-ERRORs. If I run smartctl it's not pretty, they are all more or less dead.. I have 8 drives and only one is good.
I've read about the 4TB having firmware issues etc. more or less bricking them in 6 months but mine are 500GB. Trying to find info on samsung.com is almost impossible and warranty checker only works in the US (I'm in Europe)
The drives have warranty so no problem, it will just be a tuff sell to explain to the shop that all drives have died..
On top of this I have 16 250 GB 850 EVO drives, where S.M.A.R.T looks like they came from the factory (no error what so ever) - and they sat in the same SAN enclosure and on the same raid controller as the 500GB drives.
Not sure what's going on here. Anyone having issues with any 870 EVO <4TB in size? Can these be fixed with a FW upgrade?
