This will help them keep the (reported) number of incidents down. Only a fraction of people will report it.
Comment on Microsoft asks customers for feedback on reported SSD failures

Wait. The point of the unbelievable amount of telemetry you can’t even disable was to collect info in situations like this. Right? Why is there telemetry if they have to ask?

Even if the headline weren’t misleading, I wouldn’t be shocked if they have a hard time getting telemetry reports from failed drives from users if the OS is installed on said drive.
Then again, a modern OS should be able to phone home with a crash report as it crashes depending on what has failed, so I guess I’ve talked myself out of that hypothetical lack of shock.
So…disregard this. 😅

They have received no official reports, and cannot reproduce the issue. I’m betting this is a case of a couple drives failing and then everyone screaming at MS without any verification.

Considering the history of MS and how frequent issues like this happen, it is no wonder everyone is screaming at MS. I honestly wonder how well they test their software considering the frequency of critical issues every update.

They literally went "why having testing, when production gives us more data?"

So they should be fucking paying us to be testing for them.
