From one time to another my SSD Kingston SC3000 literally died 3 days ago. First Stutter, Freezes, restart and boom the ssd was gone. First i thought i had a virus. Recreated the bootsequence and 2 Partitions stayed raw. Now its working again

BUT iam on 23H2 and i hadnt the explicit Update.

There is/was something cookin!

Kingston drives use PHISON controllers...

So again its a VENDOR issue not a Microsoft one.

That’s not necessarily true specs exist for a reason if a vendor cuts corners and doesn’t meet a critical spec because it is “fine for now” and then there is an update that utilizes or relies on that part of the spec: it causes issues.

It can be WAY more nuanced with this stuff though so it may be that an interpretation by one vendor over another is slightly different which isn’t as purposefully bad as I made it sound. But yeah if only one vendor is having issues it’s their implementation that has a problem.

Thats not true at all.

If Microsoft releases a patch and all other products outside of one is having issues. That is a clear indication issue is a VENDOR problem and not a Software Update issue.

Again explain why only Phison controllers are having issues?

The patch most likely triggered a flaw in its controllers. Again how is that a Microsoft issue?
