Heads up if you are using any of these.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has warned that certain SSD drives could fail catastrophically if buyers don’t take action soon. Due to a firmware bug, the products in question will be bricked exactly 40,000 hours (four years, 206 days and 16 hours) after the SSD has entered service. “After the SSD failure occurs, neither the SSD nor the data can be recovered,” the company warned in a customer service bulletin.

And this is the stuff they sell to businesses? Just another reason to add to my list of why I don’t buy HP anything.

I’m not sure it’s a bug… more a stupid (and terminal) implementation of a safety mechanism to prevent use beyond the expected MTBF.

A very good way to pin-point your MTBF #s 🤪

Also another good reason to NOT put HDDs from the same batch together in a RAID.

Just because you don't know where you are going doesn't mean any road will get you there.
