October 14, 20251 yr My box says my drive is safely ejected. But it is not. It's properly seated and properly inserted into the hub. It worked for a couple hours yesterday. Now it's like it's not even there. It's a Samsung 990 pro
October 14, 20251 yr That's a possible sign of an nvme drive that is failing. Recently happened to another user. Infant mortality on these drives is not uncommon even on the name brands. https://stbtalk.com/topic/14665-no-response-when-selecting-updates/#findComment-39821 BTW: Samsung 990 Pro is overkill for a media box.

What drive would you recommend?
October 15, 20251 yr I used micron enterprise class drives and quite a few Kingston KC3000 series with great results. But infant mortality can happen with any brand, and that is why I typically put all drives through a short burn-in period before putting into production machines. Either way, this has NOTHING to do with BuzzTV 6, so this is the last reply in this thread.
