Samsung just released a firmware update because alot of them were kicking the bucket really fast due to corrupt firmware. It primarily affects the 2TB versions. S.M.A.R.T. starts reporting integrity errors due to the bad firmware. Within a few months it will render the entire drive read-only which is non recoverable. You can update through Samsung Magician Software or from the standalone installer but the standalone installer needs to be put on a USB drive. Boot from the USB drive and select which drive you want to update. Let it update and restart your PC. I would update the firmware before installing windows "just in case" it corrupts the install. https://download.semiconductor.samsung.com/resources/software-resources/Samsung_Magician_installer_Official_7.2.1.980.zip Updated Bootable Firmware installer for the 980 Pro. https://semiconductor.samsung.com/resources/software-resources/Samsung_SSD_980_PRO_5B2QGXA7.iso Edited February 17, 2023 by J3st3r MtDeW and RobMc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read some reviews about The motherboard bios taking multiple tries for updates to fix a slow boot issue but mine worked first try. The only issue I had is during windows install it didn't find any network devices and it got stuck there (common issue with win 10 and 11 with newer hardware) so I opend a cmd window and launched device manager and manually loaded the drivers. Ran ATTO on all the drives and throughput is exactly where its supposed to be, Gaming is as smooth as can be been at home this week and running everything I play. Very Happy with it.
