SanDisk Extreme Hard Drives Fail and Wipe Customer Data
According to reports, SanDisk, a subsidiary of Western Digital Technologies, knowingly sold defective Portable SSDs that can suddenly fail and erase users’ data. Customers have reported that when plugging the storage device into a computer, the following message pops up: “The disk you attached was not readable by this computer.”
Starting as far back as 2022, users have complained about complete data losses and that their devices have become unusable. Many disgruntled customers reported issues with the portable drives on Reddit, where there are hundreds of complaints about the defective devices. Western Digital Technologies responded with a firmware update that reportedly did not seem to help the problem.
