April 17, 20233 yr Hello 😀  I have a bit of a strange problem with my cache drive in my second Unraid Server. Its a little Dell PC with a Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SSD. I am not doing a lot with it. Only 9 low demand dockers. My first SSD died in less than 6 months. I had read that the old charge had a problem and I replaced it with a brand new 870 Evo. Now the same thing is happening after 4 months. The Smart values increase very fast. Is this just bad luck with 2 SSDs or is something wrong with my Unraid Server? Which SSD would you buy? I have another Samsung 870 EVO build at 10.2022 but I dont have trust in it.  I just can't understand it because my other server with 850 EVO 500GB has been running 24/7 for 5 years with almost 30 dockers and 2 VMs without any problems.
