The complaint is seeking class-action certification on behalf of people who bought a 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro, SanDisk Extreme, or Western Digital My Passport SSD that was "designed, manufactured, distributed, promoted and/or sold" since January 2023.

Looks like this is for people who've purchased the drives since January 2023. So does it not affect people from before?

Here’s the original article from Ars Technica last May. IIRC this has the details on which drives are suspect.
