it’s the supposedly safe replacement that Western Digital recently sent after his original wiped his data all by itself. Remember when we warned you about that?
SanDisk issued a firmware fix for a variety of drives in late May, shortly after our story. They sent out Vjeran’s replacement in early June. He’d just begun to trust it with work files again. Silly him? A Reddit search suggests we may not be the only ones who’ve already lost data again.
I don't blame you for missing the important bits but there is some context.
I mean, the article bit they quote is kinda crazy:
“I haven’t tested the SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD, but I have used many SanDisk products over the decades. The company built a reputation for quality products that, in my experience, it deserves.”
Also, why would the Verge not have moral high ground? They are one of the most respected tech sites around
