aaa i regret choosing the #MSI spatium M2 #SSD over a #WD black... turns out the latter has a higher TBW for the same price. well, here's to hoping that the one i already bought will last me a long while...

#WD refused to answer our questions about its self-wiping #SanDisk SSDs ⚡

Hear me praise those technological gifts
We do hail SanDisk’s finest drifts
But alas, for those in suits
These SSDs leave a crude
Indeed, for its performance it lifts

SecurityWeek: Western Digital, Synology NAS Vulnerabilities Exposed Millions of Users’ Files https://www.securityweek.com/western-digital-synology-nas-vulnerabilities-exposed-millions-of-users-files/ #Vulnerabilities #NAS #WD

Hmm... if i am reading sequentially from my 2x3TB #WD #Red #RAID1 (#ZFS) after a longer idle time, i achieve only 60-70 MB/s. If i am doing this for a while, it increases up to 150 MB/s and more. And i am reading different files, so it should be normally not the #ZFS #ARC.

But whats the reason then? Feels a bit like a dynamic #RPM and the #HDD is needing some time to increase that RPM.

Is there anybody who already had such a behavior and can explain it to me?

Grab the 2TB WD Black SN850X for $99.99 - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/grab-the-2tb-wd-black-sn850x-for-9999 #SSDs #NVMe #PC #WD

bought on backorder from #Adorama. better worker treatment than B&H people say. not to mention Amazon! Best Buy is sold out with no backorder option.

killer deal on high-end #4TB PCIe 4.0 #SSD! #WD BLACK #SN850X 4TB for $230 on sale until Thursday. way overkill for #Thunderbolt 3, but one of the best SSDs available so hopefully pretty future proof. half of what it cost just a couple months ago. 🔥 https://www.adorama.com/wdbb9g4bnc.html

Das hatte ich auch noch nicht. Laptop mit #NVME. Factory Windows 10 funktioniert, kein Secureboot o.Ä. Aber unter #Linux? NVME in lsblk nicht zu sehen. In lspci schon. Dmesg faselt was von Initialisierungsfehlern.

Die Lösung: Ein Firmware-Bug des Herstellers #WD #WesternDigital. Spricht man sie mit aktuellem NVME-Commandset an beginnt die #SSD zu kotzen. Lösung: älterer Kernel oder Firmware aktualisieren (there is a bootable version…). Andere Hersteller hatten wohl auch schon mal sowas.

Say, #fediverse: does #SSD storage make sense in a #NAS?

I have a #Synology NAS (which is really spectacular) -- but the #Seagate #IronWolf Pro drives are noisy.

Today, noise doesn't matter: the NAS is in my "data center" (the basement). But we're moving to a small place. It's amazing how many things the NAS does that keep it going 24x7x365.

SSDs are quiet -- but I worry about longevity and, of course, cost.

Is anyone using #WD Red 2TB SSDs? Any other pointers or suggestions?

#WD ammette: perdita dei dati per gli SSD SanDisk Extreme https://www.spider-mac.com/2023/05/22/wd-ammette-perdita-dei-dati-per-gli-ssd-sandisk-extreme/ 🤦🏻‍♂️

@arstechnica I have the 2TB version of this #SanDisk SSD and macOS is constantly showing the “Disk Not Ejected Properly” error multiple times per day. The disk immediately remounts afterwards, but I am concerned that this may be causing data corruption. I’m currently using the SSD as a Time Machine Backup drive, but starting to think that's not a good use for this SSD if it's proving to be unreliable in general use. I hope #WD makes good with a firmware fix for 2TB and 4TB models!

@Infosecirvin You will get more attention with a hashtag, since there's no corresponding account on this server. Try #WesternDigital or #WD instead. Hope this helps!

Es ist noch nicht vorbei! Der #Western #Digital #Hack geht weiter!

Hackers claim vast access to Western Digital systems

https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/13/hackers-claim-vast-access-to-western-digital-systems/ #WD #attack #Hacker

#Cybersecurity #Hacking #WD #Ransomware: "The hackers who breached data storage giant Western Digital claim to have stolen around 10 terabytes of data from the company, including reams of customer information. The extortionists are pushing the company to negotiate a ransom — of “minimum 8 figures” — in exchange for not publishing the stolen data.

On April 3, Western Digital disclosed “a network security incident” saying hackers had exfiltrated data after hacking into “a number of the Company’s systems.” At the time, Western Digital provided few details about exactly what data the hackers stole, saying in a statement that the hackers “obtained certain data from its systems and [Western Digital] is working to understand the nature and scope of that data.”"
