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

Comments

This is for HPE (not HP, which is now a separate company). I haven't heard anything about HP (who makes desktops not storage arrays) experiencing this problem.

Considering 900 drives out of 1800 crashed in HP computers at a Swedish hospital in the last few months I suspect there is a connection.

Maybe HP and HPE were more tightly connected 3 years, 270 days 8 hours ago.

All of the impacted devices in this issue are SAS-connected enterprise-class SSDs. While it's not _impossible_ that someone installed a SAS controller and used SSDs that can cost upwards of 10x the price of an equivalent-capacity desktop model using SATA... it's probably pretty unlikely.

They sure that's hardware related, and not some poorly written ransomware?
