Has anyone else noticed this? These are all computers ordered within the past two months (roughly).Įdit: It seems like we've had the most issues with BC501 drive's but have seen very premature failures on other Hynix drives too. So far we've seen it in 256gb Hynix NVMe SSD's only (although those make up 95% of what we order and install so it might be others too). I don't know if the computers are locking up (due to failed SSD) or just being booted/rebooted by the user. Dell is replacing the drives but is not admitting to a known issue or any sort (computers are all updated with latest drivers & BIOS per Dell Command Update). After a reboot they have all come back online (so far). I’ve got Crucial ssd’s to work on many older Dell laptops, such as Latitude E5420 and E5430, with no major problems. For the desktop computer users, you can open the computer case, connect the new SSD with SATA cable and power line. Try it with another laptop that ‘s not so old.

We've even had the replacement SSD's that Dell shipped fail quickly (within days)Īs for behavior, the drives have always worked out of the box, then 1-2 weeks after being put in production the computer will show a BIOS error at boot stating the drive could not be found. Dell D630 is pretty ancient by today’s standards, probably will be tough to get any brand ssd to work with it. We have checked for firmware updates but have been on the most recent version. If you run diagnostics (after the reboot to get it online) then it reports no errors. Normally after a power cycle then it pops online and works fine. Symptom wise, the computer boots and says it can't find the drive. They are different model Dell computers, different orders, different channels (some direct, some through distribution). Any anybody else seeing a VERY high failure rate of BRAND NEW Hynix SSD hard drives that came in Dell computers? We have had something like 5 drives out of 20 Hynix SSD hard drives fail in the past month. Installing an SSD in a DELL desktop computer has many benefits over the older hard disk drives, like faster boot times, plus, its really easy to do.
