SSD 540s - Unexpected Power Loss Count increasing

YYang41 — Sat, 06 Aug 2016 19:49:36 GMT

After updating my 540s SSD to the firmware 2.1.5, I find that the increase of power loss count still exists. If I shutdown my computer at night and power on it next morning, the count will increase by 1. If I just shutdown the PC and power on it immediately or restart it, the count keeps unchanged(no increase).

Hello Yao_Yang

After discussing this situation and performing our own test in two different desktops, we found out that in our side, the power loss count was not increasing with either restart or shutdown, so it may be possible this problem is related to the system using the retail version of the SSD.Regards,NC
