So I was looking for changelog for firmware version
"SVT02B6Q" and it lead me to the reddit post/this thread.
I have
870 EVO 1 TB.
Made in
Korea.
Production Date :
2021-01-15
Purchased On :
2022-01-19
Stock/Shipped Firmware Version :
SVT01B6Q
I have been using it for over 2.5 months now (on shipped firmware, updated the firmware only yesterday) and I think everything looks fine so far - only health dropped by 1%. Can someone please confirm from the attached CrystalDiskInfo screenshot?
I ran a full Diagnostic Scan through Samsung Magician just to be sure as well - screenshot attached. It said it will take 40 minutes for 1 TB SSD but it took 2 hours, I am not sure if that is of any concern?
I am currently running it in Full Performance mode under Samsung Magician.
Attaching the CrystalDiskMark screenshot as well, are those Read/Write values normal when it is set to Full Performance Mode under Samsung Magician?
From the above reply my SSD falls in the bad manufacturing category so I will keep updating here if anything shows up.
