My last two Samsung SSDs failed:

1) Samsung SSD 970 EVO 2TB

2) Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB

Their PRO line lasted a mere 6 months. I'm not installing new firmware for X model again. I'm not going to warranty a defective product.

I sadly overlooked the Samsung SSD reliability post[0] a few months ago.

Just wanted to give another heads-up. Thanks.
