Because "SSD fails at a fixed amount of hours" is a recall-level bug and well.. where is the recall then? This should be a class-action lawsuit.

- kabdib 4y agoIs there anything on the SanDisk site about this? I checked a few weeks ago and saw nothing.
- jonas21 4y agoThere's no need for a recall because it can be fixed with a firmware update. And as the article mentions, vendors did issue urgent/critical firmware updates for it back in 2020. https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=8h6hj&oscode=w12r2 https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetai... https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00097382en_us https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en...

- DannyBee 4y agoUh, what? In most industries, it would be a recall and fix. The recall is used to notify people, and to pull unfixed products off shelves.
- wink 4y agoI think the problem is like.. if you buy a car, then they will call you if a recall happens. If they'd call you every month to sell you something you'd probably tell them off in such a way that they would stop. If food is recalled you may see it at the checkout in the grocery store. No one registers their hardware at the vendor because all they do is spam you with offers then. Or they change their system and despite you registering you'll still get no notice.
