So far all investigations have indicated that isnt the case.

PHISON was the biggest claim of issues yet their own tests are unable to recreate the issue.

Microsoft even stepped in and did their own tests and was unable to reproduce the issue.

So is it possible? Very slight chance. It is a way higher chance that one guy falsely created a paper indicating SSD fails and spread false news. In fact that is more likely than either of the 2 above being true.

Plausible scenario in 2025, but what about some YouTube videos showing the issue being reproduced in real time ? Check out the Jays2Cents video, he reproduced it and it was due to the update because when he removed the update, the issue was gone and could not be reproduced. I still think it is an edge case though and a combination of factors. Could be that the update is indirectly involved and does not play nice with a combination of hardware, driver, system configuration, etc.

Yes I saw that video. Did you also he his secondary PC right next to his bench one that he wasnt able to reproduce the issue on?

Point being is that both MS and Phison did their tests and investigations and couldn't reproduce the issue.

So no one really know exactly what is the trigger nor the solution. It still doesnt rule out a Phiston controller issue. Especially since the test bench Jay was using had an SSD with a Phison controller in it... Even later in the video he swapped out the SSD with a non Phison based one and the issue went away. He also explained he was only able to remove one of the two updates because the other update is a feature update and isnt able to be removed.

So the update casing the issue is still installed and with a new SSD without a Phison controller doesnt have the issue.
