SSD Issue Detection Scripts

Again! Didn't this already happen...

[Ex-MGSTech]

Yep! looks like a similar issue but also other suppliers too

 

IMPORTANT

 

While the failure mode is similar, this issue is unrelated to the SSD issue detailed in this Customer Bulletin released in November 2019, which describes an SSD failure at 32,768 hours of operation.

 

In addition, this issue is not unique to HPE and potentially affects other manufacturers and customers that purchased these drives.

Ours is performance tiered so SSD one end scaling down through 15K SAS to 10k SAS down the bottom end....

 

So not too many to check!!
