Comment on “We just lost 3TB of data on a SanDisk Extreme SSD” - The Verge

I’d also like to say shame on CNET, Cult of Mac and G/O Media’s The Inventory for writing deal posts about this drive that don’t warn their readers at all. I can’t stop rolling my eyes at this graf in particular:

What an absolute little fucking whiner. Electronics fail sometimes, it sucks, but that’s the truth. It doesn’t even sound like he discovered any kind of concrete systematic issue here, he’s just bitching because they lost a bunch of footage. Tech journalists are almost as bad as video game journalists.

You also need some moral ground before you shame others. the verge does not have it.

it’s the supposedly safe replacement that Western Digital recently sent after his original wiped his data all by itself. Remember when we warned you about that?

SanDisk issued a firmware fix for a variety of drives in late May, shortly after our story. They sent out Vjeran’s replacement in early June. He’d just begun to trust it with work files again. Silly him? A Reddit search suggests we may not be the only ones who’ve already lost data again.

I don't blame you for missing the important bits but there is some context.
