jensmander Posted November 27, 2019 Share #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.

flyride Posted November 28, 2019 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share #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 Share #8 Posted March 29, 2020 Nice. Seems Corona might have something to do with that perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
