Hello everyone,

Does anyone have experience resetting the power-on hours counter on Samsung SSDs?

I am interested in methods for different Samsung SSD models, rather than one specific model. Are there any verified tools or manufacturer service procedures that support this? Does support depend on the controller, firmware, or SATA/SAS/NVMe interface?

My current setup is Windows with an external drive enclosure. If a direct connection or specialized hardware is required, please let me know.

Any firsthand experience or technical references would be appreciated. Thank you.

wondering what the purpose is here.... making a ton of drives with 50k+ hours look like new and sell ?

after you add it, reset the hours and Bob's yer Uncle!

I get your point, but resetting a counter obviously won't make an old SSD new. Has either of you actually done this on a Samsung SSD?

no, but I can't think of a reason to do it, unless the purpose is to deceive. I would be happy to hear alternate views though, and don't begrudge anyone learning anything they want to
