A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's basically just a really elaborate angry comment on a SanDisk SSD. Sucks that you lots your data, but it's a single failure that could happen to basically any drive. Back up what you care about. Absolute waste of time 'article.'
It's two failures in a row on a drive that had a known firmware issue that had supposedly been fixed. Given the other reports floating around about this model it seems there could actually be a problem. But to know for sure we'd need statistics which we don't have.
Precisely my point.
