Wrong. Both the 990 Pro and the 980 Pro HAD defective firmware that was incorrectly reading the wear percentage of the drives. Once the drives get to a certain wear percentage reading, they become permanently read-only to prevent data loss. The drives weren't actually wearing out. The firmware was incorrectly reading the wear percentage and locking down the drives. The firmware for both drives has been fixed and this is no longer an issue. These drives more than likely already come with the fixed firmware, but it's best to download Samsung Magician when you install the drive to make sure.

He's misinformed. Read my previous previous comment. It WAS a serious firmware bug, but that's been fixed for awhile. If for some reason this drive comes with the old buggy firmware, just download Samsung Magician and update it. It's a non-issue now.

Have you considered the fact that those who post on social media are the least common denominator when it comes to things like this?

The rest of us have installed the firmware update and moved on like adults.

Finally, they started dropping on this. Haven't seen similar since a few months ago with 2TB at $143?

I'd do the 850x just because it's also highly rated and comes with heatsink making it plug and play.
