Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?
Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?
Ugh, I literally just fucking bought this drive
I wonder if it’d be worth returning if you’re still in the window. I don’t know how common the issues are though. Maybe check out the Ars Technica article someone linked?
Well I bought it for mass media storage for an upcoming trip. So I’ll just see how it goes and consider options afterward
But then wouldn’t you lose the data from your trip in the experiment though?
You’re probably fine, all drives have failures and I haven’t seen anything to indicate this is a widespread issue with the drive.
The manufacturer has acknowledged it’s an issue and has issued at least one patched firmware. This isn’t a “luck of the draw” or isolated issue.
