It’s going to be difficult for me to regain trust in WD following recent cases where they swapped out controllers on consumer SSD products with components offering degraded performance following their initial release.
- wmf 5y agoObligatory reminder that all three hard disk companies are evil and almost all SSD vendors as well. Boycotting just one company is cognitive bias.
- janto 5y agoIt might help to gradually fix their behaviour by signalling that you will go to a competitor instead...maybe....
- SturgeonsLaw 5y agoSamsung has been my goto for SSDs but even they're swapping chips on the same SKU. At least Intel hasn't engaged in this shitfuckery. Are there any other good guys in storage these days?
- ananonymoususer 5y agoI bought nine of them and they are still in service, although they have always been slow and I wondered why until I got the class action settlement letter. I'm not even going to bother redeeming the settlement. It's something like $5 per drive.
- ahofmann 5y agoThat's what WD is hoping for, of course, and that's why you should claim the money.
- doublepg23 5y agoI didn't know about this and thought you were going to reference them switching out NAS drives for SMR ones.
