Thread 106365159

My Sabrent Rocket Nvme drive just failed after 4 years. Is this typical?

really?
I was eyeing the 3.0 version of that model a couple years ago

Depends how it died.

>>106365159 (OP)
if you registered it when you bought it you would have a 5 year warranty

Actually yes this happened to me, I forgot how long it took. replaced with a samsung evo

>>106365159 (OP)
Did you install that new windows 11 update?

>>106365159 (OP)
It's completely normal, now be a good goy and buy another.

>>106365297

try using the secure erase feature, see if that brings life back into it.
arch wiki has a nice page for the nvme command. If you're using debian or a debian based distro just make sure your nvme package versions are near enough the arch ones before copy pasting commands.

here's the arch wiki page in quesion.

yes, you paid for speed not long term reliability.

you want 5 years? get a drive with a 5 year warranty,

my sabrent rocket 4 4tb started showing signs of failure 5 months ago and sabrent tried everything in the book to not give a warranty replacement
luckily bezos gave me a full refund
