HPE fixes another SAS SSD death bug: This time, drives will conk out after 40,000 hours of operation

HPE has told customers that four kinds of solid-state drives (SSDs) in its servers and storage systems may experience failure and data loss at 40,000 hours, or 4.5 years, of operation.

If you're getting deja-vu, you're not alone. HPE separately warned of certain SAS SSDs dying after their 32,768th hour of operation in November last year.
