Patrick Smith(@NotGovernor):Hey. This is specific hard drive advice. If you have a Samsung 2TB 980 pro or 990 pro SSD, download Samsung's Magician software and check your firmware version on the drive. If you are not on version 5B2QGXA7 then update immediately. They have bad firmware on some that is cutting life span's in half or worse. If you are affected I would contact them for a replacement or refund.
