I planned to post a video with the best SSD deals for Black Friday, but by the time I was done with the script most of the prices had already changed making it completely pointless. So instead you can find my suggestions for current SSD deals in the tweets linked below.
Also, by popular request, SK Hynix P41 Platinum review going live tomorrow! 😎
To have 10 hours remaining to sign up for the Cyberpunk 2077 / RTX 4080 Gaming PC Giveaway. Don't miss it.
"Fun" facts: - I guess the signup questions were tough enough! The giveaway bots are failing them at amazing rates ;) - So, it appears that the sponsor, Redux Gaming (NL), just went bankrupt. Don't worry, this GA is continuing as planned, I just hope no-one has any outstanding (and paid for) orders?
So I (finally?) got an answer from Samsung about the health status on 990 PRO SSDs dropping really fast, something that lots of people have been reporting on:
Their response: "Samsung has looked into certain customer inquiries about abnormalities pertaining to the 990 PRO SSD’s S.M.A.R.T.
It has been determined that these abnormalities were caused by issues with the 990 PRO SSD's firmware. Accordingly, a firmware update capable of resolving these abnormalities was released on February 13, 2023.
[Your S.M.A.R.T. values will not be reset to factory settings after updating the firmware. Each SSD's actual S.M.A.R.T values will vary depending on user environments and usage conditions.]
Please contact the applicable service center if you have any questions" (end quote)
I've updated (some) of my 990 PROs without any issues, so it's probably smart to do that ASAP. But this answer is still way too vague imho. Samsung needs to explain exactly what happened: did these drives really already wear out a large percentage in a few weeks, or was this a reporting error? Pro users need to trust their drives 100%, nothing less.
I'll keep pushing for more info. And we'll get some updated data with the new firmware!
