SSK-KILL bug on 4 machines with 990Pro-1TB

[BitMaster]

Bad news for all guys,

I have just built 9 identical PC's and at least 4 of them suffer the new SSD-Kill bug or how you want to call it.

Afaik no Samsung drives have been mentioned so far but I HAVE IT ON FOUR NEW BUILDS, identical builds !

-AMD 9600X

-Gigabyte B850 Gaming WiFi 1.0

-Gskill 32GB 6000-CL30

-Samsung 990 Pro 1TB

-Seasonic 500w Platinum Fanless

 

All Updates, drivers etc...  

NONE of the drives is more than 60% full, NONE of the PC's was doing heavy lifting while it happened, totally random - out of the blue - reboot to Bios and missing drive.

 

Make a Backup while you can....some drives are broken after the re

It has not to do with KB5063878 SDD issue because Samsung SSDs do not use the Phison controller as my learning.

But the symptom is very likely....

The symptoms are identical as well as the way to cure it, cold reboot, aka disconnect the AC PLUG or flick the rocker switch for 5 seconds.

This is KB5063878, it just also affects Samsung drives.

If it was 1 drive...maybe...but 4 drives on one day, that is a clear sign of not a single HW issue but a common software issue of some kind, be it UEFI, Bios, Drivers, etc etc..

 

Thing is, the KB is not uninstallable !  It is shown as installed but not among the ones I can uninstall.  Caught between a rock and a hard place.

If it gets worse, there will be a 9x Sata SSD order to ship around that issue. It, to my understanding, only affects NVMe and no Sata...or am I wrong.

Just SSD due to the SSD controller...
