Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?

    So they just had this one drive fail and they decided to make a big news article about it? Hardware fails sometimes. Just RMA the thing and shut the fuck up about it. Go build a gaming PC.

      Did you read the article? Two drives, not one. In 3 months. By the same company. Who is aware of a problem, is trying to hide it, and pushed a firmware update that did not work. Also this second drive was a “safer” replacement the company sent the guy after the first one failed. I say an article about the whole situation is fully warranted

      They had the one drive fail suddenly, got an RMA, and had the second drive fail suddenly as well. And they aren’t the only ones it’s happened to.

      That said, The Verge does put up a ton of pointless articles about mundane happenings.

      Don’t forget the table and to use a Swiss Army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver in it.

        Dude, I think you’re way too into the tech space if you think a website publishing an article about some bad ssds can be misconstrued as rage bait.
