At last Wednesday's BLU meeting a discussion was started regarding some
issues with the Samsung SSD drives and some bugs in their firmware.
In my case I didn't have my laptop, but I have an Intel SSD not that it
matters.
There is a design flaw in the Samsung 840 EVO drives. Only the 840 EVO
drives are affected; the flaw does not affect 840 PRO or any 850
series or any other vendor's drives. The 19nm NAND chips in 840 EVO
combined with buggy firmware caused the drives to go into error
correcting mode when reading data more than 8 weeks old. Samsung has
since released a firmware update that appears to correct the problem.
This is based on early reports 8 weeks after the firmware release
indicating that the performance degradation is no longer an issue.
