Even if the code containing this bug was shared between consumer and enterprise drives, it's not reasonable to assume that it would take SanDisk multiple years to check whether their consumer drives are also affected. The lack of a follow-up report from SanDisk is good evidence that their other products are not affected.
- robocat 4y agoYeah, I agree it is very unlikely to affect someone’s laptop. However I dislike a black and white “This will not” absolute fact statement: even if based on reasonable assumptions which is what appears to be the case versus detailed knowledge. Most laptops don’t run their SSDs 24/7, and unless a manufacturer’s error affects a lot of consumers, we often don’t find out the cause of consumer equipment errors in my experience. If the OP has a laptop older than 2020, with an SSD with a crucial chipset (especially if SATA), and they leave it on most of the time, then maybe check SMART hours.
