Hi i just ordered the above to use as a cache drive in my unraid set up, is there any known problems with this drive out there ?
Thanks

I bought my 4TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD back in april 2021 and have notice no problems at all with it yet

But i don't use it in a raid setup, it used mainly as my gamepass/steam games/etc game drive

Thanks for the reply, not really a raid set up it just caches file transfers

looks like after i have tested it i will pair it up with a cx500 to run them together for a while just in case

Were you still getting the ECC uncorrectables, bad blocks and reserved blocks being used?

Did you format the drive prior to RMA?

No bad block reported and I only deleted all files off the drive

formatted in Linux as i was testing it in that, then added back into windows and then did a full scan with magician with no lba failure reported
