    I hope that’s the case because I picked up one of these drives for CHEAP on clearance.

    I tried to make it fail before migrating my install over but even with over 60 gigs of data copied it had no issues.

      You picked up a drive that was reported as having issues?

      I would think firmware for older drives isn’t updated much.

        Per the article as long as you’re not on pre release firmware it shouldn’t be an issue. When I got the drive it didn’t fail on my write test, nor did it fail the test after updating the firmware so it seems fine.

        It’s in a laptop I really don’t care about. Worst case it becomes a Linux only SSD and put the old drive back into that laptop.
