"Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has once again issued a warning to its customers that some of its Serial-Attached SCSI solid-state drives will fail after 40,000 hours of operation unless a critical patch is applied.
Back in November of last year, the company sent out a similar message to its customers after a firmware defect in its SSDs caused them to fail after running for 32,768 hours."
Can you imagine provisioning and deploying a rack or 3 full of shiny new identical drives, all in RAID6 or RAID10, so you couldn't possibly lose any data without multiple drives all failing at once...
(Evidence that the universe can and does invent better idiots...)
