Hello friends, questions for those who bought the Samsung 980 pro or 990 pro this year.
The problems with the Samsung 980 pro and 990 pro resolved with the firmware update or did the problems continue?
Is it reliable to buy a 980 pro or 990 pro today?
Thanks you.

News about problems with Samsung drives seems to have petered out over 6 months ago with talk of updated firmware, so based on the lack of worse news I would assume that the problem has been solved. If it wasn't solved then just like the situation with Sandisk/WD I'm sure that the situation would have escalated to class action lawsuits in very short order.

Here's the last time it was mentioned in the hardware reddit:
The most recent comments are idle queries rather than people reporting problems.

- edit - however, ever since this news broke, I do a firmware update check on every Samsung SSD I buy.

I bought 3 980 pro drives earlier this year and they are all working out fine.
