To me this reeks of Western Digital style dishonesty[1][2]. I was wondering how long it would take for the new parent company to rub off on SanDisk and I guess I have my answer. My suggestion is to stay the hell away from anything Western Digital (and now SanDisk) if accurate specs are important to your use case.

- deadbunny 4y agoI missed that WD had purchased SanDisk. Well that's SanDIsk off the list of suppliers...
- coastermug 4y agoWhat supplier would you recommend? WD and Sandisk have been my go-to for all things storage, but I prefer to pay a premium up to 20% for better quality.
- __alexs 4y agoSeagate, Samsung.
- attentive 4y agoI'd go with WD over Seagate every time (for spinning).
- sentientslug 4y agoThere is no way you are in good faith recommending Seagate....
- duffyjp 4y agoMy experience with WD spinning disks has been great. I've had two Sandisk SD cards fail which was a bummer but they both went into a read-only mode so I didn't lose any photos. I've switched to Samsung's high-endurance line for those.
