Drives are anything but solid, allegedly
Western Digital was sued on Tuesday on behalf of a California resident who claims the solid state drive he bought from the manufacturer was defective and that the storage slinger shipped kit that didn't live up to its marketing promises.
It is alleged the drives can break down in various ways, including randomly disconnecting from their host, which could result in information not being saved correctly or file-system corruption. In any case, people find they can no longer access their stored documents, making the SSDs worthless and useless, it is claimed.
According to Krum, the problem is much more than a disconnection annoyance:"It is not simply a connection issue – data is being lost without warning, and class members are reporting an inability to access and retrieve data they have stored on their devices."
