Ars TechnicaSanDisk Extreme SSDs are still wiping data after firmware “fix,” users say
SanDisk's ignoring lost data claims. It's time to ignore the company's SSDs.
vince@arstechnica yeah, this has been really disheartening given my positive experience with SanDisk (micro)SD cards for years. so far, thankfully, i've only hit the data loss with redundant/ephemeral data (local content caching mostly). but, i can't trust any of the SSDs as more than a tertiary backup (after the second time wiping ≈a TB of cached content and maxing out ISP bandwidth overage charges redownloading it from other devices, i switched to unlimited data... didn't "lose" anything, but ongoing ISP costs were incurred)
deeply regretting purchasing ≈70TB of these around a year ago...
