Critical update for Samsung SSDs
-
Samsung has released firmware to fix an issue that caused its SSDs to age very quickly. Drives that have already failed cannot be fixed with this patch.
-
When the drive has already failed it only allows reads, and supposedly you can clone the system to a new drive. In the article they say they tried it with Samsung’s Data Migration soft, without success since it only works on a functional primary OS disk.
They also explain the whole process of updating the firmware, but they don’t clarify anything about what happens to those who are late and have lost their drive.
Most importantly, update as soon as possible. Salu2.
