Update on Samsung SSD Reliability

Thanks, but that takes me to old firmware. I was however able to download the new firmware from https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/t... and use the same procedure and it worked:

    ├─SSD 980 PRO 2TB:
    │     Device ID:          03281da317dccd2b18de2bd1cc70a782df40ed7e
    │     Summary:            NVM Express solid state drive
    │     Current version:    5B2QGXA7

My home is on non-redundant stripe of two 980 Pro which both had the bad firmware, so I was obviously motivated, but not panicked as it's replicated hourly to spinning rust (and I have offsite backups). I treat Flash memory as dynamic ram with only slightly better retention.

The command line example in the link shows the old firmware, but they do say to go to the samsung website and get the latest one there. The 980 was the first one in the list there under the Firmware section.
