Hello,

I'm seeking assistance, I have 12x 1.6 TB P4510 (firmware VDV1VD05) and experiencing issues with the drives under sustained load on a dual EPYC 7003 platform, while failing simple fio benchmarks.

[  107.044743] nvme nvme0: I/O tag 8 (e008) QID 86 timeout, completion polled
[  107.808789] nvme nvme0: I/O tag 28 (101c) QID 74 timeout, completion polled
[  110.888816] nvme nvme0: I/O tag 4 (7004) QID 72 timeout, completion polled
[  143.661057] nvme nvme0: I/O tag 8 (4008) QID 80 timeout, completion polled

I have done an exhaustive kernel tuning, BIOS settings and different filesystems (ext4, ZFS, mdm) however can keep surfacing the nvme errors, which can pause a drive read/write for up to ~30 seconds which stalls IO. No smart issues on the drives, and I've tried 12 of them.

My conclusion is the drives need to be upgraded for the firmware, however the generic/Dell images are rejected in different stages (not supported drive), Intel MAS no longer supports the drives, and the `sst` command won't upgrade these either.

Any suggestions, or is there a direct (legacy) firmware update for these drives?
