Glad I found this video. My drive (1tb) died yesterday. I submitted my RMA. I purchased my drive Feb 2021 and it does fall within the range of the failing drives. I own three ether Samsung SATA drives. Now I want to test them all :(
I would 100%, my replacement unit is still going strong so I am hoping it's fixed now.
Unfortunately going with the Pro line is not exactly a choice for most of us.
The price difference is massive. Like 9 times as much massive. Is not like we are gonna throw just $50 more or something.

My 870 just went out as well. It has been a huge headache troubleshooting the problem...
had the same thing happen to me. I have experienced read errors and checksum errors from it. I used it in a zfs raid array. and ironically it is the most expensive of the bunch. and all other brands survived (crucial and timec), while 870 evo 1tb failed. luckily, their customer service is quite excellent. I was able to send the drive back with a prepaid bag mailed to me by samsung. and a replacement drive arrived today. I was expecting to see an refurnished drive like a lot of people on the forums. but to my surprise, I got a brand new one with zero bytes written. so although the quality of the drive should have been better. or Samsung should have a official recall. but if you have a faulty drive, I think Samsung will provide you with a replacement, so definitely contact their customer support.
The RMA process was straight forward and I too got a mint drive that has just now overwritten itself twice. I am hoping it won't give me any more static going forward.
I have an 860, 970evo and 980. Barely any use, all under 3-4tb written, but now I want to check them haha
Better be safe than sorry! And if they are under warranty why not?
Does this issue affect OEM versions of Samsung NVME drives like the PM9A1. From what I understand, it's the OEM equivalent to the 980 pro in terms of specs and build. My issue is that the Magician software doesn't work with OEM versions.
Same problem (read errors) on a 512 Gb 870 EVO sata (2.5") after ~ 90 days life time and 1.753Tb written (90 days of continuous usage, that means ~ 9 months of 8 hours per day usage). Can't be fixed with something like chkdsk, because it freezes at that block without doing anything (great dealing with bad blocks from a disk utility, makes you miss the old days when you get a read error, being able to ignore it and get to the next block allowing you to actually get some data recovered. Guess the new narrative is as long as the failure is not recognized it does not exist😂). What a 'great' SSD.
your drive is still technically "brand new" with only 1.7tb written. when I experienced problem with mine, I had 67Tb written in less than 1 year. get it RMAed as soon as you can. i did it without providing a receipt.
I swapped out my original WD 256g nvme ssd main/C: for a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB with heat sink nvme main/C:. Cloned it with Samsung Magician; It estimated 30 minutes to clone, but finished in 17:50. I'm keeping the original WD stored away in the transfer case in case of emergency. Plan to get two Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SSD's for secondary internal storage. (cheaper for two than a single 4TB, and if one goes down, I don't lose everything all at once.) I still have a bunch of old HDD's boxed up from years ago that all work, so those may be useful someday.
Was planning on upgrading to this for an old 9 yr old laptop with hdd so i can use it as a backup pc. I would then clone my old hdd then store it somewhere. If ever the new ssd drive fails, can i use the old hdd again that i cloned? I know I'll loose some data but is that okay? I have to redownload windows updates again right? But it should work as before i swapped to an ssd?
Thanks for letting me that valuable thing "Don't put any important on these". I ordered 2 of these 870 evo 1TB ones on amazon for both of my laptop and my workstation 😞 Not sure which manufacturing lot ones will I get. Hey, couple of questions if you can clarify, appreciate that.
1) Any idea of 2023 batch lot failing too?
2) are other brand SSD more reliable than Samsung EVO? Which ones?
Barracuda metal ones were much much more reliable than these.
Finally, God bless me & my data.
The later ones should be solid. As far as reliability of other brands go it's dealers choice. Samsung is generally pretty darn good, my main SSD drive is still going strong after years of use. Every manufacturer can run into issues and they take care of you. It's just a bummer when you lose all that data...
I had two of mine fail this week. I have 3 more in my main PC so worried those are going to fail also. Currently trying to figure out what alt to get.
Thanks for the video. This is very concerning and a big disappointment from Samsung.
Samsung is overpriced garbage full of errors and failures. Just buy crucial.
Can you do the follow up on your drive, is the new one from 2022 any better? I'd be very appreciated for feedback
The replacement has not given me any issues, but it hasn't written a ton to it yet.
@@TheDutchTexanGames Thanks for the heads up. Please keep us updated! :)
Mine just started failing after getting it about a month ago. Absolutely ridiculous, my bios detected it and repaired it once but I came back the next day to my computer not detecting it again. Really thought Samsung was more reliable
It definitely affected my opinion. Everyone always seemed to hold them in high regards but I am going to be very cautious with them going forward.
A 1 tb version?
Road too 1k lets goo 🎉🎉
I have a 2 year old 870 EVO 500GB NVME that went bad this month. It is recognized by Windows but unable to open it and trying to open Disk manager or any disk tools would freeze or would fail to load, however I attached it with an external NVME adaptor and thankfully a Recovery software worked great and allowed me to take everything off that was not backed up. It is still under warranty but I prefer to keep it in case I discover something I need form it and I have other drives, I replaced it with an 870 PRO 1TB I had sitting around. I also had a failed SanDisk external drive SSD, not good. I did not even use it much at all, it was just for transferring items usually to friends so at least it had nothing important on it.
manufacture date?
I have an 870 EVO (release date - March 2023). This disk uses the latest firmware version SVT02B6Q. The disk worked for 2 hours during the RAID array bulkhead - and used up 48% of vitality. At the same time, he recorded only 1.9 tb. Complete shit. And yes, I bought 4 disks and everything is in critical condition.
Dang, I am currently sitting at 1.2Tb run through my RMA unit. No problems with it yet but I am keeping a close eye on it!
What is the country of origin of yours? Usually it is occurring to SSD manufactured in specific countries
@@justarandomguy3039 Made in China
God damn it!! After having two Samsung smartphones die on me and a TV and another with issues and night mare washing machine and a freaking horrible curved screen(that was the last drop) i said NEVER. This guys have no quality control in anything.
And i kept away for some good time now, but i wanted an SSD and everyone was praising Samsung SSD so against my better judgement i thought i trust them one last time. Maybe just maybe their SSD stuff is good for so many people to praise them.
And what i bought? Yeah you got it right.. 870 EVO. And now i see this! I am just shaking my head. I just want to go to a mirror and ask myself what was i thinking.
I guess my only hope is that i bought this lately so it will be at least after 2022 manufactured and is a 2TB one.
Also my distrust in them is high so i back up everything on normal hard drives.
Just had one fail on me 2 days ago. not sure how old, but right now, can't even put a file system, or low-level format. very disheartening.
i have 2 of 870 qvo. I use it for a year now and It working just fine.
It was the EVO line that got the short end of the stick. My replacement is working fine too. I hope it stays that way.
I'm victim too, but i lost some data (first my lapotop failed indenpedently) so i attributed problems to this, but soon truth surfaced.... RMA replacement seems working fine (fingers crossed)
Mine is working good as well. But it's only written 213 Gb right now so it better be... It hasn't even used all the write locations on the drive yet.
How is the WD Blue 2 Tb SSD , manufactured in 2021.
I just purchased it in India brand new from Flipkart
I have an 870 EVO 500GB and I keep getting BSOD's very often, about 2 BSODs per day.
The latest driver version is SVT02B6Q - up to date
The manufacturing date on the SSD is 05.2023 - Are they still problematic? What are the latest batches that are not problematic?
Did they build 2024 batches yet for the 870 EVO ?
Did you say that your replaced is 2022-10 or the one that failed was 2022-10? Asking for a friend. (I used smartctl to check mine and so far.. good)
The RMA replacement I got was 2022-10. The original was an early 2021 build date.
Hello, greetings from the Philippines.
I am planning to upgrade SSD and my first choice is Samsung and second choice is Crucial. By the way, can I also check the manufacturing date on the box without opening the item in case I bought Samsung SSD? I already bought my Samsung 970 NVME and I don't know if this also connects to your video too.
Doubtful. But if you bought recently you should be fine with the build date unless the vendor had one sitting on the shelf for that long...
i have the 250gb model crapped on me a year ago. i bought it in mid 2021 and used it for about 4 months. then it'd show a few signs of dying such as random BSODs with unexpected_store_exception error code. i did a fresh reinstall and the same problem persist. i didnt know what the problem was as i moved on to another new ssd of mine which has 500gb of storage and used to this day and still has no issue. so i turned the samsung ssd drive into a linux drive. few days went on it'd work just fine. and after that the OS would just lockup and i cant do anything. at that point i concluded that my samsung ssd has died on me
My 870 EVO 4Tb build 09-2022 failed. Samsung Magician could never show it even when the OS did.
have two of them and after two years they are still going strong.
That's good! Have you checked them though?
@@TheDutchTexanGames would not have said they are going strong if I did not.
@@viperdemonz-jenkins that's freakin' sweet! Looks like you got lucky on yours! How many TB have you written to them in those years?
@@TheDutchTexanGames almost 15 on one 20 on other.
@@viperdemonz-jenkins solid usage! My main is currently at 35.1Tb written and the RMA hasn't even gotten close to writing to all the blocks yet at 239Gb. I hope my RMA unit will stay solid now too. Regain some of that trust I have lost in Samsung.
actually i'm thinking of buying lexar 2T m.2
but i'm afraid cuz it's doesn't have Dram which made me hesitant to buy it .
i want it for video editing !
any recommendations ?
or there is no problem if take them ?
Your best bet would be to stay away from DRAM-less SSD’s.
All the reviews from when they 1st came out was the Pro's would have much more life then the EVO or QVO
Yup, better warranty too. But unlike the 860 pro which used MLC the newer ones past the 970 pros have the same TLC memory the EVOs use. QVOs use QLC which wears out the quickest (hence the cheaper cost).
Hmm. Was thinking about buying one in store today. Just a 1tb though. Any suggestions?
My 1TB RMA replacement has been running good so they're probably OK to buy now as long as they aren't some new old stock from early 2021.
@@TheDutchTexanGames Dutch, you SOB (predator). Lol, thanks for the reply. Can you verify for how long? I watched the video. You mentioned a product above the evo. Thanks Again! You're a G!
@@thethrillofitall yes, the pro series. However the pro 970 is the last one to use the MLC (2 bits per location) whereas the 980 and above use the same TLC (3 bits per location) that the EVO's have. TLC is cheaper to manufacture, but it also doesn't last as long.
I was planning to get an Evo 870, which year should I get or should I get Lexar instead? Thanks in advance.
From what we know those manufactured after November 2022 are made differently, and "should" be safe from the bad blocks that haunted those made before that date. Hovewer we can't be sure since it takes some time for bad blocks error to appear. Wait for awhile longer if you're getting a 870 EVO, or pick something else.
I am a ME fan as well. Finished of all 3 games on PS3, Xbox one and an Jailbreaken ps4 pro. It think BioWare has doomed and we will never see anything like ME games, especially first one is a real rpg to me
I am on PS4 pro as on last software now.
My stock PS4 pro's HDD broken when i on Star wars fallen order 2 years ago and changed it with another Sata HDD samsung 2TB. And after several months when i play game The HDD has started make weird voices like " diiiiiiiiii"
As of yesterday, i ordered 870 evo 500gb. hope it wont fail cus i am planing to play ME series 4th time :)
Before watch your video, I just seen the picture behind you, and said about " oh that lad is look like erik ten hag and i didn't know he fancy for Mass effect games " 😂😂
Hahaha! Never had someone compare me to him. But at any rate, the later build ones should have no issues. Right now my RMA unit only has 239gb written to it so the entire drive hasn’t even been used yet.
I got a 1tb which is randomly running at 100% on performance. This was a separate drive to install games. When I tried loading a game, it won't open. So I tried to transfer in file from my other drive to samsung and the speed is fast, But when I am transferring from this 870 evo to my other drive, its very slow. The read speed is super slow. I just purchased mine last month (October 2023), it's been a month and now it's dying!
I have a 870 evo 500gb. Production 2023 06 07. I hope its ok. Thanks for the video.
Should be, it's no longer the first batch!
Does Samsung post any info on this issue? Recalls, etc? Would be helpful to consumers especially if it's a known issue and has been corrected. Thx@@TheDutchTexanGames
On Samsung SSD sata drives and NVMe drives build in 2020/2021
the Firmware shipped with the drives has a bug which kills your drive. So update the firmware ASAP
I've updated all my drives and they are working perfectly
A mate of mine purchased the same drives at the same time at the same shop as I did ....BUT.... He DIDN'T update the firmware and all his drives have failed
So run the Samsung tool test for bad blocks if you have no bad blocks or only have a couple of bad blocks run the firmware update it will help stop the bad blocks getting worse if you have them and if you don't have them it will stop you getting them from the bug in the original firmware.
It up to you
I'm just sharing what I did with the hope it helps someone else
4 months later, is the drive still good?
@@_MaZTeR_ seems dead, otherwise would replied you already.
@@gx4548 Well, for me, I bought a 870 in late October last month. I noticed a few weeks ago that Crystal Disk Info showed its drive health at 99% and I have only written about 550GB on it, and all of it are just games. In fact, they're RDR2, Witcher 3 and GR: Breakpoint. I'm not sure if that's exactly normal though.
I haven't noticed any drops in performance, crashes or anything weird though.
What too is odd about is that my 2,5 years old ADATA external SSD is still at 100% health and it has probably almost 2TB written on it.
Edit: The ADATA has 6TB written, Samsung has 538GB. Also the former is an NVMe according to Crystal Disk, that is in the external drive USB housing.
So, judging by this, I'd rather get myself an ADATA SSD next time, or more specifically an NVMe.
@@_MaZTeR_ right now is still on 99%? even its been updated on samsung magician?
@@mazzingah769 4 months later, Crystal Disk still shows it's at 99%, though I haven't gamed all that much during that time. Samsung Magician shows it's in good health, but I can't see any percentage because I haven't run any of the extensive diagnostics.
My 2021 870 Evo just fail Today. Samsung in Argentina doesn't even recognize the 5 year warranty. Sadly this ssd was my main and only drive and I don't even have any money to buy a new one
So I got the Samsung magician and it’s not detecting my other drive only my 870 evo
The other drive I have is a 870 qvo 2tb
I have 2 of them both stoped working. One stop working so because that stop working. Like it go one online then offline and could not access my games. Nore the storage file. Kept doing that.
Then when you disconnect it both stop working.
Long story short I deleted the things and manage to unmerge both drivers and now both are working again. But I took off the one that had caused the issue originally. Didn’t plugged it back in incase it did the same thing
And I have the Samsung magician but not detecting the 870 qvo on it. Is there a ways to add it so i can do a diagnostic on it?
OMG! You bought Qvo? You are really a risky guy. I wouldn't dare being that risky, i already felt uncomfortable with EVO.
The QVO SSD’s tend to be more delicate than the EVO SSD’s, since they use QLC, instead of TLC.
We We already have 6 defective 870 EVO SATA drives, manufactured in 2021, various capacities, which we have sold in the past and more are coming...
Yup, they had some major issue back then...
I planned on getting a 870 Evo 500GB. But now, do you think I should get a MX500 500GB instead?
I have no experience with the MX500 unfortunately so I couldn't recommend it. The later EVO's are supposed to be good but for me? I won't be buying another one of those.
After this fiasco, I’d go with the MX500
The mx500 has an issue with cold boots. Specifically if the system was unplugged. Very slow loading (5-10 mins) and runs at a reduced speed during diagnostics.
First I've heard of it..@@au1622
My Samsung 870 EVO 2TB bought in June 2023 failed after 6 months. Not writing much, 95% only reading, on Linux. First it was still displaying the device name and infos, and I could successfully repair the volume with a repair tool (Windows). Everything looked normal again. After 3 weeks total breakdown in the middle of writing something. Not even the device name is visible in Windows Device Manager. Only "Unknown Device". With that any software can do nothing anymore. Even Samsung Magician can't recognize it.
Sata ssd for home use are getting worse, I guess I'll switch to server sata ssd.
This just happened to me with my drive from May 2021. All I did was download a game overnight, and when I came down, the pc was in bios. It started super slow, lagging my pc, and it drove me insane and the drive ended up completely frying. I just got my new replacement yesterday!
Guess I was lucky it was a secondary drive that started to nuke itself. Had it been my main? I’d been not very happy. The whole installing windows again thing and all the programs is a major drag.
@TheDutchTexanGames it was actually my third drive, thankfully, but I lost work as I stored some on it, not knowing it would break as years ago samsung was the best
@@tsasbros same, very disappointing. I am building a new rig next year and I am definitely looking at other options but Samsung. My 860 pro drive has been solid but the problems they have been having with the newer lines gives me pause.
same thing happening right now, thankfully i was dumb enough to NOT put my windows on my SSD. if so i would have sold my pc already lmao. im getting a replacement soon and getting an upgrade to my gpu(1660 to 3060) as well.
@@user-jc6qp1kg8j upgrades are always good! And I loathe installing windows so if my main takes a crap I am going to have a bad day... LOL
Had an 870 evo die on me dated Sept 2021. I believe any 870 before November 2021 will fail.
It's all the early ones for sure. The RMA one I got has been solid.
Had a 2TB 870 EVO build date Nov 2021 that failed on me. I even upgraded the firmware a year ago and still failed.
Should i buy one? I am planning to buy the 512 GB one manfactured in Vietnam 12/2022
I don’t think you’re gonna have a problem with buying it, so go ahead.
I bought evo 870 500gb (2023 year of manufacturing). I want to clone windows to that ssd. Are those ssd-s still have problems?
My RMA unit is vintage 2022 and hasn't had any issues, the earlier units did so I think you are safe!
@@TheDutchTexanGames I think they fixed that in the late 2021. I cloned windows to evo 870. Also it came with the latest firmware. So far it works without a problem
I have 2 x 1TB of 870EVO and the drives are showing red blocks....I was under the assumption they automatically detected the bad blocks and assign another but mines are just failing and I already have a couple corrupted files.
Chkdsk says it replaced the bad clusters but they still show up.
When that happens the drive is done. Time for an RMA!
@@TheDutchTexanGames Yep, I already moved what I could (it is non critical data) and asked Samsung for an RMA.
Smart move! Happy you caught it early!
@@TheDutchTexanGames I confirm they were both made in 2021 in Korea. Gone already and replaced with 2022 made in China.
@@SaccoBelmonte what is the build date?
Thanks for the video. You look pissed off dude.
Tell me how the RMA doing you, any better?
The RMA is currently sitting at 4.3Tb written and all is well.
870 owner never had a issue but I also own the m.2 version
Maybe you lucked out with that!
Would you recommend getting crucial mx500 instead of 870 evo ? It is actually much cheaper than the Samsung.
I have no experience with those drives so I can't recommend them. The laster EVO's (like my replacement) should be void of the issues I had but personally it is going to take some time to trust the EVO line again. We'll see how it handles the coming year and a half.
I have been using MX100 250GB for 8 years as a primary disk and still going strong. CrystalDiskInfo estimates abouth 93% health, but it is just an estimate with so many TB written, no errors though.
My MX500 recently failed after 3 yrs, not much usage. Very disappointed. Again you'll google MX500 failure and see lots of issues. I can't believe we still have such faulty hard drives they are such an important piece of hardware.
@@Raidz-448 Yeah but crucial is cheap. When you buy from them you kind of expect you may getting a little less quality. Samsung plays it as quality and they F you over.
@@SIPEROTH Who do you recommend then?
Please let me know which ssd should I buy samsung 870 evo sata 3 vs crucial mx500 1TB??
you can't go wrong with a crucial mx500.
i have a samsung 870 evo 4tb dated 2021.01 which just failed; where do you write to send it back?
Just visit this site and follow the instructions. www.samsung.com/us/support/computing/memory-storage/
@@TheDutchTexanGames thanks, turns out Samsung (Canada) insisted I needed the original receipt and wanted me to deal thru the company that sold it to me - which was a real pain because I couldn't find the original receipt. After a few calls to Samsung it became clear that they were not going to budge on that so I kept looking and finally found the receipt. Lesson learned, scan your receipts for a life with less grief :-)
@@roblatour3511 I bought through amazon but I guess Samsung US isn't that picky. They went with the warranty on the serial number and never asked for my receipt or proof. Both of which I had ready just in case.
Bro for some reason my 970 evo plus id not reaching its full potential i did some more research and turns out there were some that are defective i tried updating the firmware and it says (this firmware has already been updated)
Then you have a more recent unit. Mine wasn't updated but it didn't matter for me anymore since the SSD was already corrupted. Have you tested it with the Samsung software?
Add me to the list. I bought my 1TB 870 EVO in May of 2021. In the past two months the number of bad sectors suddenly soared to 48,468 all over the drive. The file damage included files that I had written to the drive two years ago and never touched. The total damage was 288 files, mostly temporary browser files fortunately. Oddly I had just replaced a conventional 2TB drive that had 68TB written to it over a period of eleven years before it began failing and it failed in a much less catastrophic manner.
For comparison I've also been using a cheaper Samsung 500GB 840 EVO for nine years (it reports 129,521 hours which is impossible because that's 14 years). It's had 38.7 TB written to it and has exactly *zero* reallocated sectors. I'm going to keep my eye on the reallocated sectors and for any read failures during backups.
my 2TB Samsung EVO 2021.11 date and made in Korea. Failed last night. I'm screwed.
Bummer dude! Did you have any signs beforehand or just out of the blue for you?
I just bought samsung Evo 870 4TB manufactured date 2023 10 15 made in korea. Its very disheartening experienced to have this kind of ssd it suddenly hang and stop working after installing the OS i tried to reinstall many times even installing samsung magician but to no avail...😢😢😢😢
do not scare me sir i bought it 2 or 3 years ago
it still works
i even had system on it for a year before i got kingston fury nvme
magician says it is 100% fine.. its 1 TB disk just like yours
If it's fine it's fine. Not everyone got affected. I just drew the short straw like many others.
My 870 EVO 2TB is failing. It's running at 100% in Task Manager. It appears on Magician, but wont scan or show any relevant data. CrystalDiskInfo sees it but doesn't show as many datapoints as for the other drives.
Me too 100% disk in task manager and cant or open app very slow. Did u buy a new ssd or how to fix it ?
It’s most likely failing.
Mine just stopped working after 2 years. I'm really pissed off, all of my data was there.
Yeah, it really isn't ideal at all. You trust a solution like that and boom. Done. Just not cool.
Their are No more.2 870 evo... 2.5 inch units only
Very bad for Samsung’s reputation!
Definitely gave me a bad vibe. But the replacement is now sitting at 2.6Tb written so I suppose things are going alright so far!
@@TheDutchTexanGames I’m grateful to find a update in the comments
@MrJlove12 I messaged their support team about this and it seems as if they are covering up somethings, this is what they said, "Thank you for contacting Samsung Memory Support. The SSD 870 Evo is not known to have any issues or recalls with Firmware; you should be safe and optimized to use the SSD in your current/future build"
Just bought one of these for steam storage
If it is a recent build date you should be fine! It's just the earlier units that seemed to have massive issues.
And i bought a 870 EVO 1 TB to replace dying HDD in my laptop.... don't do that, don't freak me out !
Production date december 2022
Lol same, mine is 500 gb and production date was this year so I hope it's safe.
@@_Bakamunati i have the 1 TB version. Crytaldisk says it's 99%... health, i guess?
Both that and Samsung magician note that i have like 750 GB written so far, so i haven't used the whole drive yet !
You should be good on that, my RMA unit is vintage October 2022 and I have tested it not too long ago and it came out OK.
is there any follow up for this Video?
Haven't had to make a follow up. The RMA'd unit I received back has worked flawlessly!
is newer 870 evo 4tb samsung fixed this issue?
It seemed to be the early build units, so if it is a later unit you should be good.
I have the 870 evo 2tb 2.5 sata that I got a month ago, production date 4/23/2023 and it already seems like its failing. Starting to disappear from my computer and isn't authenticated in Samsung magician 😡
On the flip side, I also have a Samsung 980 1tb m.2 nvme drive I put in over a year ago and it has been doing phenomenal
any news on reliability?
My RMA is still working great now!
@@TheDutchTexanGameswhat is the manufacture date on the RMA you recieved? If it's made before November 2022 then it's probably another one from the bad batch.
Oh wow. So your failed 870 EVO was manufactured in 2022?? So even after Nov 2021 there are still defective drives. Mine was a Sep 2021 build and just failed after not even 2 years and 2TBW of use. I don’t think i’ll be buying Samsung again

Did it fail like mentioned in the video, with alot of bad sectors and crc errors? What was the manufacture date on it?
@@AB-gm4yi First i noticed my pc took 20 minutes to boot up - then windows explorer wasnt working correctly and crashed all the time on windows 11. I noticed an icon is missing from the taskbar and it was an app from the SSD. So I put it into another PC (windows 10) and still windows took 20 minutes to boot up. But this time Explorer.exe worked and SSD was found but there was no progress bar for the disk space at all. Couldnt open the drive and every app that i tried to open or install took about 10 min to react. I had this kind of errors and crashes with all 3 SSDs - this one is from 2021.04. So avout 3 years old. This is a frkn joke .. Atleast I could save my data with ccleaner recuva and copied the whole drive on another drive (also samsung *sigh*...) and uploaded all the stuff afterwards :D
@@Sl1kzSorry to hear that. Those manufactured before November 2022 are bad, with errors showing up like in this video. Those made after that seem to be better, atleast we can hope so. It takes time for these errors to show up so it's still abit too early to say if 2023 and newer are safe from this issue.
So 2022 and 2023 is safe?
I don't actually know it myself, but from what I've googled those manufactured after November 2022 should be fine. His ssd was sadly manufactured October 2022, just a month before it.... Still don't take what I've written here as fact, but I guess after Nov 2022 should be fine.
@@AB-gm4yi mine died recently
My samsung 870 evo keep disappear from my pc and idk what should I do ? I tried everything and when I download/install a game, it disappear from file explorer disk management and even bios :(( What should I do ?
First ensure all cables are connected properly. If they are all snug try another port on your motherboard (if available). If that fails I'd initiate an RMA because that is definitely not normal.
1 or 2 copys is NOT a storage solution
It is a travesty... The RMA unit I got is at 2 Terabyte right now so it just copied over itself twice. No issues yet.
My 860 Pro is sitting at 38.4 Terabyte, that is a 500Gb drive so it copied over itself over 76 times now with no issues.
