I had enough of repeated disconnects on my #Samsung 980 Pro #NVMe storage, ordered a couple of midrange #Kioxia replacements & hope the critical servers don’t give me any problems in future.

@dch one of these? yeah mine went bad like that too

@feld yep same ones. I’m going to see if I can send them back and get some €€CASH$$. What I see is repeater controller disconnects on every system I have them in. Did yours actually fail completely?

@dch Just the disconnects. Sometimes randomly kicked out of my mirror vdev, sometimes nonfunctional at boot. Manually adding it back in to the vdev and forcing a scrub wouldn't show anything so I wonder if the flash itself is actually good but something else in the controller is flaky. It did not start exhibiting this behavior until a year or two into service.

@feld I’ve had this issue on 3 systems, from low load proxy and firewall, to high periodic load desktop/poudriere, and constant medium load server. In all cases a full power cycle is required to recover.

@feld

some 2TB batches seem not reliable.

I have 2x1TB 980pro from 2022 batch, still fine but the 2021 was plagued with bad FW.

@dch
If it's proven to be a firmware issue, you might ask for a replacement/compensation, in EU at least.

@omar @dch mine is 2021.06 so maybe!!!

I'd love to be able to get a free 2TB NVME out of this
