Comment on HPE Drive fail at 32,768 hours without firmware updateparent

Comments

This exact thing happened to me. I went crazy for a week straight testing every other component of my PC. I was convinced it was the graphics cards drawing too much power. Then it was clear that my OS was corrupted and needed to be reinstalled.

Finally, I found an obscure forum post telling me about a firmware bug happening at ~5K hours of disk usage. I updated the firmware and haven't had an issue since.
