Boy breaks 50 of his father's Samsung M.2 NVMe SSDs worth nearly $4,000 — 25,600 GB of storage ruined by ten-year-old oblivious to global NAND crisis
A ten-year-old boy accidentally destroyed 50 of his father's Samsung M.2 NVMe SSDs, each valued at around $76, resulting in nearly $4,000 worth of damage. The incident occurred as the boy was testing the durability of the drives, unaware of the global NAND storage crisis. The damaged SSDs were Samsung PM991a models with 512GB capacity, and it's uncertain if any of them are still functional. The incident highlights the current high demand for NVMe flash storage and the potential consequences of mishandling valuable tech components.
