  • Interesting, I am dealing with a similar issue right now. I have a Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB nvme where files have become corrupted over the last few months (took me a while to notice). I am trying to get it replaced under warranty, but the company where I bought my laptop wants to run all sorts of tests and is suggesting to reformat the SSD :S even though the smartmontools lists a ton of errors (the SMART overall health self assessment test did say ‘PASSED’ though). I have only written 8.20 TB to it.




  • I don’t think it is dead, but the hype certainly seems to be over. It is important to realize that as long as the crypto value trend is strongly linked to value of other commodities, it is still being treated as an investment, rather than a currency. Increasing the places where crypto can be actually used to pay will allow for unlinking crypto from being an investment to a currency. I guess there most people are currently not interested in that as much, which I think is unfortunate.
