a Microsoft programmer asks a programmer of another company: “Tests? What tests? Don’t you have clients for that”
This issue was great. It gave me an excuse to upgrade to a better SSD, which also gave me an excuse to try Linux for the first time in like a decade (other than the Steam Deck). Threw Nobara on the drive that Windows would murder. Haven’t had time to play around with it much, but I’m excited to try it.

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?

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.

Reminds me of the 2009 Toyota accelerator pedal incident.

This will help them keep the (reported) number of incidents down. Only a fraction of people will report it.

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. 😅
