Strengths:
None based on weaknesses.
Weaknesses:
Have a system built by ME over 2 years ago. A pair of 1TB in RAID 1 as my system disks in a VirtualBox host. So not much usage. Both drives failed about 20 months in. Glad for the 2 year IPR. Both were replaced and things have been fine for 8 months. Now one of those has failed. A low level utility that I have, talks directly to the drive (doesn't use drivers) has come back with a hardware ( or firmware ) failure that has rendered the drive unusable. So am I only getting drives built on a Monday or Friday or is this a systemic problem?
Additional Comments:
Will start replacing the Samsung SSDs with Gold or Black WD HDDs.
Oh and now a 2TB 870 SSD has failed. Fortunately its paired drive was a HDD so no issues.
Less than 3 years and three 1TB and one 2TB drive have all failed. Samsung fix your reliability issues. Even though the drives have a limited 5 year I'm not going to waste my time pursuing that.
