I bought nine of them and they are still in service, although they have always been slow and I wondered why until I got the class action settlement letter. I'm not even going to bother redeeming the settlement. It's something like $5 per drive.

That's what WD is hoping for, of course, and that's why you should claim the money.

I didn't know about this and thought you were going to reference them switching out NAS drives for SMR ones.

Obligatory reminder that all three hard disk companies are evil and almost all SSD vendors as well. Boycotting just one company is cognitive bias.

It might help to gradually fix their behaviour by signalling that you will go to a competitor instead...maybe....

Samsung has been my goto for SSDs but even they're swapping chips on the same SKU.

At least Intel hasn't engaged in this shitfuckery.

Are there any other good guys in storage these days?
