    You picked up a drive that was reported as having issues?

    I would think firmware for older drives isn’t updated much.

      Per the article as long as you’re not on pre release firmware it shouldn’t be an issue. When I got the drive it didn’t fail on my write test, nor did it fail the test after updating the firmware so it seems fine.

      It’s in a laptop I really don’t care about. Worst case it becomes a Linux only SSD and put the old drive back into that laptop.
