So far these issues only apply to these specific SSDs … fingers crossed it stays that way, because like you I’ve got a number of WD HDDs in my life.
WD got in trouble not too long ago for deceptively marketing shingled drives as conventional. Back to back issues like this is going to leave a lasting impression on the kinds of people who buy drives.
Except their enterprise drives, of course. Because those customers have the resources to get even.
I agree, I don’t buy WD drives any more. But I don’t want to replace the ones I already have unless it’s necessary.
“so far” is the operative word.
You really don’t want to discover you’re suddenly part of the 2024 list of drives that also are corrupt.
I think the key thing here is that older drives you already own are probably ok. At least if they’re a year old or so.
