SSD bug in HPE SSD drivers causes SSD-drives to crash in October. Which are to follow?

[kiddingguy]

I came across this article.

 

After October when your/a certain type of HPE SSD has an older firmware your SSD is bricked.

Update soon!

 

In addition, this issue is not unique to HPE and potentially affects other manufacturers and customers that purchased these drives.

But.... which drivers and manufacturers does this concern?

 

I have a Samsung EVO SSD and a Kingston SSDNow SSD in my notebooks. Are these "compromised" as well?

And what about Intel 530 SSD's?

The drives you mention will be alright [touch wood], the drives mentioned in the article look like enterprise server SSD`s being that they`re 800GB and 1.6TB. The other ones will probably be rebranded drives sold in complete systems but originally bought from HP, hopefully people will see this issue and can at least check.

It does seem daft to put in a failure of the drive after a certain amount of time, in this case 40,000 hours of use! If put in together they`ll fail together.
