- TillE 4y agoThe article does say they've seen "abnormally high failure rates in the field", so it's not just that.
- jpk 4y agoIf that's all it was, then it's likely a firmware update would not only prevent the issue, but also reverse it if the storage is actually healthy. That doesn't seem to be the case here, though.
- kmeisthax 4y agoKeep in mind that one of the things SSD firmware does is deliberately write-lock the drive if the media is too worn to erase. So buggy firmware overestimating media wear is also likely to cause a failed drive.
