The current issue is about SSDs s to of Hewlett Packard and in storage products such as HPE ProLiant, Synergy, Apollo 4200, Synergy Storage Modules, D3000 Storage Enclosure, StoreEasy 1000 Storage.

Η είχε κάνει παρόμοια ανακοίνωση τον Νοέμβριο του 2019, όταν το ελάττωμα του caused failure after 32.768 operating hours. In its new announcement states that the affected ssd drives are running a firmware older than HPD7, and will fail after activation at 40.000 hours. This translates to about 4,5 years and is about half a year earlier than the extended warranty available for the product.

Be careful because when 40.000 hours have elapsed, neither the data nor the drive can be recovered. Preventing such a catastrophe can only be overcome by backing up data.

Hewlett Packard has been notified of a firmware error by an SSD manufacturer and warns that if SSDs are installed and running at the same time they are likely to fail almost simultaneously. The new firmware can be installed using an online flash component for VMware ESXi , Windows and Linux.

Hewlett Packard estimates that unpatched SSDs will start failing by October 2020. This gives administrators plenty of time to apply the patched firmware.
