I think the key thing here is that older drives you already own are probably ok. At least if they’re a year old or so.

WD got in trouble not too long ago for deceptively marketing shingled drives as conventional. Back to back issues like this is going to leave a lasting impression on the kinds of people who buy drives.

I agree, I don’t buy WD drives any more. But I don’t want to replace the ones I already have unless it’s necessary.
