Then look at this thread, everything you’re asking for is already linked in this thread. The original complaint, the first time Ars wrote about it a year ago, the reddit threads discussing it, everything.

If you had bothered to read instead of demand it being spoon fed to you, maybe you’d already realize it’s not about consumers “losing a file” its about read/write errors and total failure of drives up to and including wholesale loss of all data. It’s specifically about SSDs and how these drives aren’t living up to expected read/write cycles as advertised. Also, SanDisk/WD already released a patch that was supposed to fix things in many of these drives, and the patch seems to have not changed any error-causing-behavior. (The fact that they released a patch speaks to this being bigger than a consumer “losing a file.”)

Oh, and if you’re smart enough to be checking the read/write errors you encounter on a drive, you’re probably not just a “tech-illiterate consumer.” Did you forget a large number of casual hobbyists in the technology space actually do such work for a living?

So your “statement of fact” makes you look illiterate because you couldn’t be fucked to read all that in this thread.
