What about the 960s ?

What about the 960s ?

There are probably others as well. The list is based on reports posted in this and the Z490 Vision D threads. I'll include a link to vit9696's post. That link has been present at the top of Post 1 in all of these threads for some time:

• Z390 Designare
• Z490 Vision D
• B550 Vision D

Problems can occur on the following drives that may lead to catastrophic data loss under heavy load:

• Sabrent Rocket NVMe SSDs

Whoa! Our Sabrents are susceptible to failure, too?

I've updated the post to say PCIe 4.0 versions! Alas I do have one of them, but it's very lightly used and has not had any issues.

From what I can tell, this is an issue with these particular APFS-formatted SSDs with OC and MacOS installed.

All of my data SSDs are HFS+. A few data clones are EXFAT for use in Windows, if ever needed. My Angelbird SATA SSD is still going strong as an OS disk. I wonder if it would be best to disable TRIM and employ a manual TRIM operation maybe once a month or so.

le to Monterey users because of the sudden onslaught of trim-related issues.

Rats. I bought a Samsung 980 as a Big Sur boot drive. I have been using this for over a month with 0 problems. I am not experiencing any boot slow downs. So what else will/can go wrong with these drives? 980 has a pablo controller, BTW.

So I can check if trim is working properly with SetApfsTrimTimeout. I just had a look in opencore configurator, but I don't see this parameter.
How do I use this? I set this where?

4294967295 (maximum timeout, TRIM is enabled and runs as long as needed) is not accepted as value. It resets to -1 on save/close/open?
