<p>Hi,<br>
</p>
<p>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:</p>
<p>"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"<br>

<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>What do you think the chances are that drives in a RAID set will
have the same number of power on hours?</p>
