Hi all, just posting to see if anyone has any other possible solutions / possibly to raise awareness of these drives failing.
I have a several Toshiba PX05SRB SSD’s that are all (except one) reporting to a Dell RAID card that they’ve failed, and when they are plugged into a SuperMicro chassis with a different SAS controller, the drives report a capacity of 0 Bytes.
Screenshot from the SuperMicro SAS Controller:

I’ve tried:
I do see that IBM says there is a required firmware update these drives to prevent premature failure, but I don’t have one of their arrays to apply said update.

I’m guessing all of the drives are toast, but I’d really like that to not be the case haha
Thanks!

I’ve tried:
- Inserting the drive in a different slot - makes no difference
- Using the SuperMicro’s SAS controller to verify or format the drives - it instantly fails
- Booting from an Ubuntu Live ISO to work on the drives - all options for disk management were greyed out
I do see that IBM says there is a required firmware update these drives to prevent premature failure, but I don’t have one of their arrays to apply said update.
Required drive firmware upgrade for 1.92 TB and 3.84 TB Tier 1 Flash drives with 6402 firmware
Specific 1.92 TB and 3.84 TB Tier 1 Flash drives, running 6402 firmware, are exposed to an issue that can cause drives to fail prematurely - potentially on multiple drives in an array, causing loss of data. Upgrade to the latest 6406 drive firmware is strongly recommended, to prevent this issue.
