Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) warned customers last week to install a critical firmware patch to prevent SAS SSDs (Serial-Attached SCSI solid-state drives) from permanently failing after 32,768 hours of operation -- which is 3 years, 270 days, and 8 hours.

HPE isn’t to be trusted anyways. Since they purchased Aruba Networks there have been way less security updates and they aren’t as good about patching problems as they used to be. The last update I had before I sold my 2 APs of there’s did something stupid with my guest network that I had to roll back and retest before I sold the APs. Also had terrible throughput with my DENON HEOS speakers on the update as well. Constant 10-12mbps data rate instead of 150-300mbps.
