I have collected some of the serial numbers that are affected in the link below (not only 870 EVO, it actually impacts wide range of SSD models which are manifactured in 2021):

I have included a translation from DeepL at the end.
for 870 EVO: S5Y3NF0R / S621NG0R / S62BNJ0(R?) / S62CNF0R / S62CNJ0R / S6BANJ0R / S6BCNG0R
Feel free to share first nine digits of your affected SSD's serial number, I have decoded that it contains specific model, capacity, year / month of production and where it's manifactured, which can help people determine the batches that are affected.
TLDR: It usually happened when the Total Host Writes ≈ 10TB, most affected SSDs are manifactured in 2021 (so the eighth digit is mainly R), but there still exists a few cases in 2020 (i.e. the eighth digit is N) and January 2022 (i.e. the eighth digit is T, the ninth digit is 1)
Because it involves several models and different generations of controllers, e.g. PM9A1 has reports with the factory firmware ending with 7401Q / 7601Q and various OEM firmware batches, what I can tell is that there is little correlation with the controller and firmware.
