jensmander Posted November 27, 2019 #1 Posted November 27, 2019 For users who may run HP servers or custom builds with HP SAS SSD drives: a critical firmware bug leads to the dead of the drive if a specific on-time (32,768 hours) has been reached. The drive will become inaccessible and is completely dead. Link to the advisory and patches: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00092491en_us 1 Quote
flyride Posted November 28, 2019 #4 Posted November 28, 2019 Especially as if someone bought several at once, they all fail within a few moments of each other. Unbelievable. Quote

Unbelievable. Yes. HPE is kind enough to make you feel the pain you will be if you are in that position: Quote In addition, SSDs which were put into service at the same time will likely fail nearly simultaneously.

bearcat Posted December 18, 2019 #6 Posted December 18, 2019 Sounds a bit like the problem seen earlier in Sweden, where 1 hospital had 900! dead drives in just 1 week (on the HP Elitedesk 800 G2) out of 5000 computers, 1800 was reported "dead" with the same problem. A total of 3400 computers in that health-region has been involved. The computers was between 2 and 3 years old In addition the Swedish police had at least 2500 computers, with the same SSD, dying. Supposedly, an updated firmware for those SSD's was released a year ago, but it was not implemented in Sweden: Quote - Provides improved drive reliability. - Fixes a potential issue which could cause a blue screen event to occur. - Fixes a potential issue which could cause drive panic.

polanskiman Posted March 29, 2020 #8 Posted March 29, 2020 Nice. Seems Corona might have something to do with that perhaps? Quote

Don’t think so 🤔 But I recently said to my better half that we‘ll be part of the zombie apocalypse if the internet breaks down during the shut down 🤭 Quote
