Firmware for Samsung’s 980 and 990 Pro SSDs are here after a fraught couple of weeks.

PC Gamer (opens in new tab) found a similar issue affecting Samsung 980 Pro SSDs was also found and fixed earlier this month, making it a bad time to be the owner of the company’s high performance M.2 NVME drives.
Given that older firmware is reportedly killing drives en-masse, users with even a suspicion that they have a 980 Pro or 990 Pro in their configuration should download the latest firmware version from Samsung’s free SSD performance tool Magician (opens in new tab).
