I beg to differ. I think (hope) it was just a firmware issue which has now been corrected. All being well, this drive should see me right for at least 5 years.
When I retired my 500GB Samsung EVO Plus, I'd written over 126TB over it's lifetime since I bought it in March 2019.
It's just my luck to miss out on that £20 reduction for the 990 Pro. But I'm more than happy with the £50 cashback - when I receive it.
How long does it roughly take for the cashback to land back into the bank account? I know Samsung say they'll let you know in about 30 days when they've transferred the money, but I'm curious to see how long it's taken other people to get their cashback.
