Comment on SanDisk's Name is Now Mud

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.

  Is this referring to firmware?

I’ve bought exclusively WD storage for many years. Mostly because I’ve never had a failure, and hadn’t read anything terrible about reliability. Well, all that changed this year.

My newest portable drive (Passport Ultra USB-C 2TB) has only 30 hours (40 power cycles) on it, and is clicking/chirping and abnormally slow while writing anything. Probably dying, at least it warned me. It will need to be replaced, at my cost (just out if warranty of course). Combined with SanDisk failures, and complete silence from WD… I’m done with them.

I’m moving to Samsung. I’ve already bought a replacement (T7 Shield SSD 2TB), and also an M2 NVME (980 Pro with Heatsink) for PC OS refresh later. Hoping to move almost all the things to Samsung SSDs in coming years, outside of 1-2 large Seagate HDDs for NAS. Bye WD.
