sorted byNot worth considering the 3 Year old 980 Pro with Easter Deals soon.
1TB 980 Pro is two Years old and has 15.7TB written to it. Updated Drive Firmware only last Month.
Failed on Magician Data Migration after an attempted clone to a new 990 Pro.
Failed on Diagnostic Scan (Full) showing 1 Bad Cluster in Red. It also failed on Gigabyte Master BIOS Disk Scan. Passed on Windows Disk Check.
Copying from this Drive had become very slow. Temperatures on all 3 installed M3 Drives were idle at 48 Degrees.
It went downhill after that, Start Menu became buggy and Calculator didn't exist on the Drive anymore.
In diskpart, protected Volumes can be removed.
delete par override
In Disk Man. create new GPT Volume.
Create Partitions and untick Quick Format - writes all Flash Memory with FF
Magician Diagnostic Scan (Full) and Gigabyte Master BIOS Disk Scan(Full) both Passed.
Disk Temperatures are now different where before they were around 48 C at idle (Magician had a recent update and it may have contained a Temperature bug fix)
970 EVO 512GB 18 C
980 Pro 1TB 48 C
990 Pro 2TB (Boot) 21 C
Clean the Drive before RMA.
Sequential Read 6,566 MB/s
Sequential Write 5,230 MB/s
Random Read 947,265 IOP/s
Random Write 800,292 IOP/s
It does very when running later.
