[chbot] [OT] PSA - HPE SSD Firmware will brick drives after 3.5 years.

[Mike Field]

Hi,

Since quite a few here also get involved in IT work, or may 'catch' 
things on the way to dumpster, so here's a small public service 
announcement:

"Bulletin: HPE SAS Solid State Drives - Critical Firmware Upgrade 
Required for Certain HPE SAS Solid State Drive Models to Prevent Drive 
Failure at 32,768 Hours of Operation"

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00092491en_us

Other brands might also be affected as it is a firmware issue inside the 
SSD, however HP are the only one I have seen announced.

What do you think the chances are that drives in a RAID set will have 
the same number of power on hours?

Mike
