Whenever there is something to do, the SSD will wake up within nano- or milliseconds and stay awake until the transfers are done.
This aversion against power-saving modes (or the notion that they hinder performance) is completely unjustified. I would use Standard more, or Custom mode with at least the "Full Power Mode" disabled. It seems to cache things through your RAM. By then, SATA technology will be something that some old people may remember.Ģ) There are certainly some snake-oil shenanigans going on with full performance mode.
You probably have to use this SSD for several decades to see it drop to concerning levels. For the drop to 98% it will take considerably longer. "Health" dropping relatively quickly to 99% is normal. I am currently running it in Full Performance mode under Samsung Magician.Īttaching the CrystalDiskMark screenshot as well, are those Read/Write values normal when it is set to Full Performance Mode under Samsung Magician?įrom the above reply my SSD falls in the bad manufacturing category so I will keep updating here if anything shows up.ġ) Your SSD is completely fine so far. It said it will take 40 minutes for 1 TB SSD but it took 2 hours, I am not sure if that is of any concern? I ran a full Diagnostic Scan through Samsung Magician just to be sure as well - screenshot attached. Can someone please confirm from the attached CrystalDiskInfo screenshot? I have been using it for over 2.5 months now (on shipped firmware, updated the firmware only yesterday) and I think everything looks fine so far - only health dropped by 1%. Stock/Shipped Firmware Version : SVT01B6Q So I was looking for changelog for firmware version "SVT02B6Q" and it lead me to the reddit post/this thread. Near the bottom, a new SMART attribute gets added on the new firmware, says vendor specific. What I also found interesting is the reports some people got refunds without even been offered a replacement, is that samsung having no faith in a replacement 870 EVO working for their workload or perhaps just lack of stock? I have never heard of a company offering refunds like that before on manufacturer RMA's. I wanted to see first how long a erase cycle takes on the shipped firmware, then flash and see if its accelerated, of course one can not downgrade flash, so flashing is a full on commitment in that new firmware version. If the new firmware prevents it from kicking off (I also have same suspicion) I wonder if it does it the horrible way of forcing data refresh which of course accelerates erase cycles, a hacky way of fixing dud hardware. Going to do a badblocks scan on it and see what happens. I got mine from Amazon but obviously well past their no frills return policy now.
