WELL...? WE'RE WAITING.gif

Is your drive 60% or more full and have you tried to transfer something 50gb or larger? From what I saw, those are some of the triggers.
No but my drive uses Linux not Windows. I wonder if that helps.

My assumption was it had something to do with the drivers for the controller, and the update flooding it faster than it could take data and not caching everything it couldn't cram into controller DRAM, causing parts to just get dropped wholesale.
modern ssds have on board firmware that executes actual nvme (or sata) commands. so it's possible a bad dma driver can coincide with a firmware bug to result in unexpected behaviour.

I haven't had disk issues, am running a 980 Pro SSD currently, but I've definitely noticed other weirdness that sure feels more like that? Half-Life crashing repeatedly in map loads sometimes succeeding fine and other times not. Firefox broke wholesale until I reinstalled it and even then had to do a refresh to fully solve it. I haven't seen anything else weird thankfully but this definitely has me concerned and glad I'm backing up with a very long rolling period just in case. Gonna uninstall this update for sure.
Just a heads up in case you haven't updated firmware on your 980. I wasn't aware of the problem and lost my c drive a few months back.

I so much want to, but the programs I run are partly windows only. I don't know how to switch yet. Next to that, I tried Linux once but was unable to reach netwerk drives from my NAS. I tried everything, none of the solutions I found actually worked. I seem to have a curse running into issues no one else had. Struggling my whole life with that. Today I spent the entire day fixing Kodi, which suddenly stopped working. None of the solutions on internet worked. I managed to fix it my own way, eventually. Just to play a video without losing my "videos watched".
MS is working hard to force me though. I'm almost as far as to say goodbye to apps I've used my whole life. Like Directory Opus for example.
Yeah, at some point 'cabt on linux' becomes synonymous with 'cant'

Every thread has one Linux bro, stumbling around dazed and confused, still searching to understand why people use a different OS. Always asking "Why do people even use that?" Ignorant of the litany of reasons the real world behaves the way it does.
Windows sucks, in a lot of ways, we get it. But holy hell find a different schrick.
I understand why people use different operating systems. Ill judge you for mac os but i kinda get it. I think slackware or something works for some use cases.
Windows is just ijsane though. You're insane for using it.

I've never seen my NVME go above 10% usage, so I'm not worried about it.
-
I've never had an issue of this gravity on Windows. I use Linux and it has its issues as well. Stability is not why I use Linux lmao
The amazing thing about Linux is there are distros for any purpose. If you want stability there are distros focused on that. Yeah, the popular ones are often bleeding edge, or near bleeding edge, but you don't have to use one that's using the latest updates.

windows quality has seemingly took a nosedive after 7 and never recovered. glad to have left.
I thought 10 was fine too, didn't like the new menu bullshit though. I use Arch by the way.

10 was the last windows version i dailied on my personal machine. the whole forced update fiasco had made me lose work, and was the writing on the wall for shitty things that came after.

Please hit my work computer plz plz plz
Just update, find a script to repeatedly write a 50gb file filled with garbage, and pray it kills your drive.

Wait 3 weeks before applying updates and let other people be the guinea pigs. It's usually enough time for things like this to be caught and withdrawn by MS.
I delayed the 24h2 update as long as Windows physically let me which was like a month or two I think? After that delay ended my only option was to download cause it was popping up in an intrusive way every single hour... God I hate windows so much.

Is this 100% an OS issue, or a hardware issue just being made apparent by the OS doing something weird?
-
Yeah I remember when Linux Update did this . . . oh wait, no I don't.
I think I do but I'm not sure. I seem to remember some years back when a kernel version was released and due to a bug on either a driver or a filesystem, as soon as you started writing it would override the partition table or something like that

No, they all have their issues. That is the very definition of linux.
In what way? The most stable Linux is far better than what Microsoft could yank out of their AI asses. Debian and Red Hat has been the staple of many servers around the globe. Hell, this Lemmy instance might be on one of those.
It's only when you tinker around too hard and fast then you have problems in Linux. But there are ways to get things back on track easily compared to Windows.
