Let’s be clear that a failing part is one thing but silently dumping them on the public is the unforgivable failure. I hope shareholders are seeing this and selling.
Yep, and shame on clickbaity tech “news” websites for churning out “awesome deals on SanDisk SSDs!” articles with no mention of the failures.
It took my sleep deprived brain far too long (less than a second, but still) to realise this wasn’t a genuine name change.
Same. The stupid capitalisation of nouns doesn’t help.
I grew up with title case being a thing ☹️
There’s no way this article wasn’t written by AI, the formatting is so weird.

Western digital is Jerry the racecar driver
Literally? Are they pulling an Elon?
For those unfamiliar, the phrase “one’s name is mud” means that a person, or in this case a brand, is widely unpopular due to disgrace or scandal>
I think if pulling an Elon means something like committing a massive fraud then yer. P.S. I using pulling an Elon from now on.
No, no, pulling an Elon is buying a functioning company for over the market price then doing everything you can to drive it into the ground.
I know, hence the “literally” (It was joke, see?)
Ah, so the answer is “yes” then.
Someone really needs to have a talk with their marketing department.
So what’s a better quality option?
So far I only bought Samsung SSDs
for internal use and expanded that to Crucial as well.Only heard good things about Sabrent, Kioxia and Samsung so far and not much bad.
Samsung consumer SSD have a well-earned black mark on their reputation as of late.
Waiting for a Primus fan to make the joke
Primus sucks!
Had an SSD of theirs fail and it took weeks to get a warranty replacement out and was the biggest hassle ever. If the customer service was tolerable I’d have considered renting, but even without this news I’d never buy or recommend them.
So what are good brands for SD cards and SSDs?
For SD complicated, I guess Samsung they seem good quality price.
Damn sandisk is really that bad? That’s sad but fuck em

Eh I’ve had good experiences with them.
And now you won’t if you buy more from them.
