Bug In Solid State Drivers Sold By HP & Others May Render Them Unusable After 3 Years…
Expiration dates for computer drives? That’s what a line of HP solid-state drives are facing as the variable for their uptime counter is running out. When it does, the drive “expires” and, well, no more data storage for you!

YOUR DRIVE IS GOOD FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND 9 MONTHS

Very interesting. I had a SS die on me 20 months ago--no warning. It was a strange deal--bios said it was there and was fine, but it could not accessed or re-formatted.

not a driver and there is no fix from manufacturers

you have to use a patch created by hackers that discovered

the planned flaw.
