Similar experience for me. Four 2TB 980pro in RAID-Z2. Since introducing the drives in August 2021 I've had to replace them five times. I think none of the original SSDs are left. Only between 5 - 25TB written on average. Usually individual uncorrectable errors caught by ZFS, but one drive just straight up died. I keep a cold spare these days. On the bright side, if the cycle continues, I'll never run out of warranty from Samsung or the vendor.

The warranty is from the date of sale of the original unit. Replacing one doesn't reset the warranty end date.


If this really becomes an issue due to repeated failure, lemon law activates for a refund.
