The funny thing is since these have been getting news even months ago, there was almost immediate fire sales on all the main deal sites to sell them off. Everyone that bought them now have a waiting time bomb of a disk to use. Thanks Western Digital for your contribution to society.
- hobobaggins 3y agoCostco was selling them (still!): https://www.costco.com/CatalogSearch?dept=All&keyword=ssd https://www.costco.com/CatalogSearch?dept=All&keyword=ssd Is Costco completely unaware of these massive issues?
- bastard_op 3y agoBlissful ignorance imho.
- bastard_op 3y agoCostco is actually a decent org, and if anyone knew they were selling this time-bomb garbage, they would stop it, as they will warranty stuff for YEARS, just to be a somewhat decent company in a time of pirates.
- ben1040 3y agoI own one of these disks and quit using it when the news came out, expecting I should hang onto it to get money back for a recall. Didn't even occur to me I could just have brought it back to Costco all this time because of their extremely generous return policy.
- HankB99 3y agoMaybe Costco caught up with this. I can't find it on their web site (at least in the US.) All I see is the "Extreme Go" which I presume is a different product.
- dryheat3 3y agoNot the same series. "Extreme Go" is not the same product as "Extreme Pro". I have two of these from Costco and they have worked fine for several years.
- RachelF 3y agoThey did warn you - they put the words "Extreme Pro" in the name. I guess the "Extreme Pro" solder reflowing skillz are required ;-)
