Latest findings suggest consumer SSDs with official firmware are unaffected.

    Did the ssd firmware cause failures on other OSes? Did it only have failures when formatted as NTFS? A specific partition table? This article really doesn’t explain anything.

      The benelux media tweakers.net has tested the failing ssd on linux, and yes it did fail there too. They were saying temperature might have been a factor since in windows the temperatures were higher than linux, but something was off ye.
      If this is a case of prerelease firmware being shipped and killing it under load because of temps, thats baaaddd.
