It's basically just a really elaborate angry comment on a SanDisk SSD. Sucks that you lots your data, but it's a single failure that could happen to basically any drive. Back up what you care about. Absolute waste of time 'article.'

It's two failures in a row on a drive that had a known firmware issue that had supposedly been fixed. Given the other reports floating around about this model it seems there could actually be a problem. But to know for sure we'd need statistics which we don't have.

Precisely my point.
