Microsoft issues a fresh statement (Sept 3) on Windows 11 SSD corruption reports, denies any connection

well, this is clearly microsoft trying to deny responsibility. Yesterday, I encountered a similar issue with my secondary nvme SSD even though I had already uninstalled KB5063878 (i guess the as others mentioned the servicing stack still applied and can't be roll back). My WD Black SN850 1TB drive r

Windows 11’s Latest Security Update (KB5063878) Is Reportedly Causing Several SSD Failures When Writing a Large Number of Files at Once

WD SN850 4TB here. My PC froze to death once, when I tried install app from local file, but after reset all was ok. Installed Cyberpunk and Dead Space from steam without problem. Uninstalled KB5063878.

Framework 13 12th Gen Intel 32G - Won't Boot - Stuck at Framework Logo

Just a quick update on the laptop. It was the SSD. I got a new SSD from wal-mart for 120 bucks (Microcenter wanted $170 for the same drive), installed windows again and I'm up and running. Now I need to figure out how to get a warranty return for my bad WD-Black SN850 as it has a 5 year warranty and

MSI X870E + 9800X3D: Primary M.2 Slot Failure

The SN850 supports Host Memory Buffer, and Microsoft hosed support for that with Windows 11 24H2. It was horrendously bad. Don't know if 25H2 fixes it.

WD drives have their own different issues. SN850 and SN770 reported by others, and me personally I've had issues with the SN750 and SN550. Never forget the Sandisk drives that used to up and die on their own.

B650 AORUS ELITE AX WD Hard Drive 8tb

Ah okay, I know that the SN850 series had various compatibility issues (requesting more power than the ports would deliver, IRQ Conflicts with other peripherals, etc.). You might have some luck reaching out on WD's support portal here: https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb they've been able to confir
