Problems Fixed:

• The issue affects SSDs with an HPE firmware version prior to HPD8 that results in SSD failure at 32,768 hours of operation (i.e., 3 years, 270 days 8 hours), neither the SSD nor the data can be recovered, after the SSD failure occurs.
• In addition, SSDs which were put into service at the same time will likely fail nearly simultaneously.
