- mjevans 3y agoDid what, for those of us without Twitter accounts? Did they Pass or Fail the flush test? (Saved or Lost data respectively?)
- slabity 3y ago> Update 2: models that lost writes: > SK Hynix Gold P31 2TB SHGP31-2000GM-2, FW 31060C20 > Sabrent Rocket 512 (Phison PH-SBT-RKT-303 controller, no version or date codes listed) Looks like those two models failed. Would like to note that these tweets are from Feb 22, 2022. This entire thread should have (2022) on it.

Fyi, the nitter version is actually readable: https://nitter.net/xenadu02/status/1495693475584557056#m https://nitter.net/xenadu02/status/1495693475584557056#m Samsung 970 Evo Plus: MZ-V7S2T0, 2021.10: Pass WD Red: WDS100T1R0C-68BDK0, 04Sept2021: Pass Crucial P2 250GB CT250P2SSD8, FW P2CR046: Pass Samsung 980 250GB MZ-V8V250, 2021/11/07: Pass WD Black SN750 1TB WDS100T1B0E, 09Jan2022: Pass WD Green SN350 240GB WDS240G20C, 02Aug2021: Pass SK Hynix Gold P31 2TB SHGP31-2000GM-2, FW 31060C20: Fail Sabrent Rocket 512 (Phison PH-SBT-RKT-303 controller, no version or date codes listed): Fail
- dboreham 3y agoSo...vendors no sane person would store valuable data on their drives were the only ones that failed. The sound of a dog biting a man...
- Espressosaurus 3y agoFWIW, I've had SK Hynix parts in my Dell laptops before. I agree about Sabrent.
- electroglyph 3y agoSK Hynix is the #3 flash manufacturer (acquired Intel's NAND biz), and their RAM is quite decent. i wouldn't think twice about buying if it wasn't for this report.
- Shekelphile 3y agoHynix's flash is just fine. It's the controller at fault for this.
- yread 3y agoIn one of the tweets he says another drive with the same controller passed so it's not just the controller
- lights0123 3y agoI would expect the world's second largest DRAM manufacturer to have trustworthy memory products.
- wannacboatmovie 3y agoApple has been using SK Hynix products (some rebranded as their own) for years.
- Shekelphile 3y agoPretty much every brand uses phison controllers in at least some of their products, even wd/samsung/intel who design controllers in house use them for their cheapest offerings because phison is all about making the cheapest product possible.
