it sounds like he has one of the drives the bad affected firmwarePlease work on making coherent sentences because your run-on sentences make my head spin
As far as the 960 Evo and APFS, I used that same exact drive (1TB version) for almost 1 month daily with ZERO problems. The drive had 700GB of data on it and it worked flawlessly.
I returned it because the 970 Pro came out and I purchased that instead and I prefer longevity and faster speeds that the Pro version provides.
Maybe your NVME is faulty. Is TRIM enabled? You should enable it either via Terminal or via Clover patch.
You're telling me that Apple made APFS (which took years) and that when all of their machines out there (many many millions) use NVME (they use Samsung controllers and NAND) that no one has noticed issues with APFS?
C'mon, when you make an argument, present facts instead of some random opinion.
this is old news in Samsung forum dating all the way back to December of last year
I received one of those drives that's why I find out everything about it
I returned that drive and got a full refund
no way to downgrade the firmware
Samsung really screw up there
many people just made the mistake of updating to the new "bad" firmware
other simply bought a new drive that came with the new firmware already installed
that is what happened to me
the drive came with the bad firmware installed from factory
then I also find out about the controller difference between the drives
many people made it seems like the only difference was just the speed
the PRO being just a bit faster
but it was more than that
EVO = MLC
PRO = TLC
that's why the PRO can sustain writing speed longer and the EVO drops after writing just a few GIGS
