I have 2x 500GB Samsung Evo 970 Plus drives in one of my Unraid servers
One 12month old the other 6months.
Over the last week or so i started getting high temp warnings when it has been running its cache to array moves overnight - around 65C on one of the drives.
Was looking into it today and noticed that drive is running 10ºC warmer at idle when they were always previously similar temps
and Interestingly both drives have used 1 and 2% of spare threshold with 99/98% remaining endurance.
This seems odd to me for such new drives with under 30TB written each
To me that seems like they might be headed to early failures? thoughts?
In contrast i have a pair of 5+ year old Kingston A2000 1TB drives in another server that are over 500TB written with zero spare threshold used
