It's pretty sad when Microsoft release's and update that can brick your ssd,I bet to we the consumer will be the ones left stuck holding the bag if the your ssd gets bricked.

The sooner SteamOS is brought to mainstream PCs, the better. F*** M$.

Pretty tough to work in Steam OS.

If people start to adopt Libre Office format, it won't be a problem. Also you could just use the web version of Office for a subscription.

Something about this doesn't make sense. They are saying it's only affecting certain SSD controllers, but then they say it's also happening to HDDs. Yes, I know they use a controller chip to, but not in the same way. Unless we start to see a lot more of these reports, I think this may be a reach. I mean, if the update was put out a few days ago, there are loads of people using those drives around the world. I would bet many of them have written lots of data in the time since the update. Makes me think we would see this a lot more than just a few machines. My2cents

People tend to blow things out of proportions these days... sounds like it's just this 1 user that was doing some testing too.

who is read / writing 50GB files in one continuous transfer? I suspect that is why there are so few reports...

Somebody moving 2160p movie files (typically 50 - 60GB).

IIRC, the person in question was patching Cyberpunk 2077?
