Ask HN: How can I tell if my SanDisk Extreme Pro is prone to failure?
That scares me (a lot).
My plan is to buy another brand of SSD and move the files across asap.
But, before I do that, is there a way to know (e.g. by looking up the specific model number or even production batch number) for sure if the two Sandisk SSDs I own are among the models/batches that are prone to spontaneous failure/data loss?
Sorry this is such a 'dumb' question - feels like it should be easily answerable on my own, but from a couple of hours searching/reading, then a reddit post (removed - off topic), and a stack exchange post (same fate and reason as reddit post), combined with the fact Sandisk denies there's even a problem and thus haven't issued a recall, it's very hard for me to answer this seemingly rudimentary question.
Thanks so much for any help/advice.
