Perhaps it is because only certain firmware versions had the fatal flaw? Then again...If it was the firmware, then now everyone would have the newest firmware installed... But you still can buy with older firmware and no update available.
Specially 4TB versions still come with SVT01 firmware and there are NO updates, production date 2023.
And all the bad ones are from the time of the pandemic, check the whole topic. Also crucial and WD had bad driver in that time. It's not because SOMEONE say this it's true.
I did sell then and now hundreds of them in my shop, how about you? I have the info from REAL experience here in my shop.
Here as proof, a new 870EVO with the old firmware, made 10/2023

I even have 4TB versions with SVT02 and SVT03 firmware, all made in 2023. No update's available for them!!!

That's what I call the "early-covid-pandemic-QC-slump"Not with the 870, that was due to bad nand used in the time of the pandemic, and no one could find chips on the market.

What is want to ask is: do i have to update the firmware?? i'm not sure an updated one is even available
Definitely update the Firmware to SVT03B6Q (if it's available for your drive).
You have to install Samsung Magician, it will let you know when there's a firmware update.

Yes agreed, Samsung should take their responsibility and recall all SSD drives from the year 2021.Samsung should be recall these bad batches to prevent Samsung customers to lose their data.
European union should be informed - they will force recall these hard drivers.
Yes agreed, Samsung should take their responsibility and recall all SSD drives from the year 2021.
Lucky you have a backup from everything! I would like to know what happens if you try Secure Erase them?
