Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens OC_Formula and Wu Yanzu in South China for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com February 1 news, Samsung 980Pro SSD is the company's flagship product launched in August 2020, according to Tom's Hardware, in the past few months, there have been many reports about the failure of the solid state drive, Samsung did not respond to this, but custom PC manufacturer Puget Systems has partnered with Samsung to launch new firmware for the affected 980 Pro solid state drive after "receiving an astonishing number of failure reports" To fix the failure.

The Samsung 980 Pro that had problems before is basically using 3B2QGXA7, but now Samsung has introduced a new 5B2QGXA7 firmware to fix the problem. The problem mainly affects the 980 Pro of the 2TB version, but some of the lower capacity cannot be completely avoided. According to user feedback, the S.M.A.R.T of the solid state disk. The "0E" value occurs, even many times, that is, the number of times the master detects an unrecovered data integrity error. In addition, there are cases where the "03" value (free spare space) is less than 100%.

Many users reported that their SSD 0E value soared to 2000 cycles, or even more than 32000, causing SSD to be locked into read-only mode. Some people reported that their 980 Pro used only 5% of the 03 value in four months, but the SSD only wrote a single-digit TB space.

According to Puget, the most common problem with user feedback is that SSDs go into read-only mode. Given that most users' operating systems are installed on solid state drives, read-only mode makes the boot drive unusable. Unfortunately, once your 980 Pro goes into this failure state, there is no way to recover the data, even with firmware updates.

If your solid state drive is still available, Samsung's new firmware update will prevent failure in the first place. So if you have a 980 Pro running 3B2QGXA7 firmware, you need to update to the latest firmware (5B2QGXA7) using Samsung SSD Magician software as soon as possible. CTOnews.com learned that 980 Pro SSD running 4B2QGXA7 or 5B2QGXA7 firmware was not affected by this issue.
