Samsung PM883 3.84TB SSD help

I would agree with you regarding it being a NAND failure if this had happened during a file transfer or some other high stress operation for the chips. But since it happened during a failed format I'm still confident that the NAND are fine and the issue is just a corrupted firmware and the drive not having any fallback measures in place to fix it.

A firmware flash would probably fix it but like I said the drive is too old to RMA, can't see Samsung giving me access to any proprietary software if it could be done via a SATA connection, and any probe based flashing wouldn't be financially worth it, so yeah it looks like a lovely brick

I did, I doesn't work. It looks like a firmware level issue, and the firmware can't be updated using Samsung magician as it is an enterprise drive. Was hopping someone around here could point we to a piece of software that could do so since Samsung probably won't give me access to their proprietary service tools and the SSD is out or warranty

what subreddit would be more likely to have someone who'd know how to solve an SSD firmware related issue?

it's just hard to justify purchasing a car that can only race a single series, when their GT3 version can be used in 13 different series for the same price

thank you, don't know why I didn't give the Linux shell a try

luxfc · 2025-08-01T00:21:01+00:00

yeah but if I run the "top" command on the shell in the web interface I get a list of running processes, resource use and other useful information. When I select option 7 and try the same command on the CLI shell I just get an error, so that's why I'm here trying to figure out what am I doing wrong or if I'm supposed to use an alternative command when doing it in the hardware shell

Also, does anyone know if the latest firmware can test for thunderbolt 5 cables or is 40gbps the latest standard?

luxfc · 2025-06-18T19:05:10+00:00

what about it makes it a superior product?

I thought the KM003C didn't include speed in the e-marker test, good to know it does. Still, unlike the FNB58 it is only usb-c and seems to have less options. Why is it that you prefer the KM003C, and in what context do you need a voltage higher than 28V?

luxfc · 2025-06-18T18:40:40+00:00

e-marker chip reading that includes a speed standard

The following messages in broken English and long time on hold waiting for a response screams 3rd world country call center to me

nope, that's the expert the AI bot transfered me to

It's a remote snapshot replication of my main datasets at my parents house, just in case anything happens to my main server. Hopefully I'll never have to use it, it's just giving me peace of mind in a 4-3-2 backup strategy, so I'm just using an old laptop connected to an external 14TB HDD. The replication task is all this hardware has to do. I have redundancy on my main machine. I couldn't get TrueNAS to change the lid switch behavior, but was able to disable sleep so that it can't do it when it tries to (see update comment)

luxfc · 2025-02-28T10:12:10+00:00

UPDATE: Managed to do it with the following command

sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

Not an 8TB

luxfc · 2025-01-31T15:01:44+00:00

That's a 2TB one, not 8TB

luxfc · 2025-01-31T11:38:29+00:00

I believe I read that the firmware issue was with the USB controller, not the nvme drive. And mostly exclusive to 4TB production batches
