New Windows Update could brick your SSD

Is anybody with a Samsung 990 Pro seeing the 7B2QJXD7 firmware update yet? I'm seeing it for my 2 TB drive and a 1 TB drive with heatsink in another machine.

I updated the 1 TB drive and all appears well. I'll give it a few days before updating mine.

Thanks for the update, just updated my 2TB to latest firmware.

This came up the other day for me, three drives updated, I tried to get a quick Google on this update, thought I had seen it related to the Windows issue but didn't get the time to dig or see the actual benefits of the update.

I updated a 4TB and 2TB 990 Pro to the latest firmware, no issues so far. If the theory of overheating has any truth then I'm glad I went overkill with Thermalright HR-09 Pro heatsinks. During a full disk scan my 4TB drive reached a max temp of 43c, and my 2TB drive (at the bottom of the motherboard with airflow from case fans) reached 33c.

This showed up on mine but froze when trying to update.. Then my rig started playing up.. I've ordered another 990 and I'll clone my OS one tomorrow and see if I can get it back up and running
