fdsa Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 TL;DR: If your SSD firmware is not SVT02B6Q then upgrade immediately, use the "Samsung Magician" software: https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/ Some batches of Samsung 870 EVO drives have a critical flaw in its firmware, damaging the data or completely bricking the SSD. if you have SSD made between September 2020 and July 2021 then 90% that you are affected. Mostly 2TB and 4TB drives affected but there are reports that some smaller capacity drives have this problem too. Check the S.M.A.R.T data - if you have "Reallocated sector count" higher than 10 and "Uncorrectable error" higher than ZERO then your drive is affected and you are eligible for a replacement SSD.
