Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?

    I’d also like to say shame on CNET, Cult of Mac and G/O Media’s The Inventory for writing deal posts about this drive that don’t warn their readers at all. I can’t stop rolling my eyes at this graf in particular:

    What an absolute little fucking whiner. Electronics fail sometimes, it sucks, but that’s the truth. It doesn’t even sound like he discovered any kind of concrete systematic issue here, he’s just bitching because they lost a bunch of footage. Tech journalists are almost as bad as video game journalists.

      You also need some moral ground before you shame others. the verge does not have it.

        I mean, the article bit they quote is kinda crazy:

        “I haven’t tested the SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD, but I have used many SanDisk products over the decades. The company built a reputation for quality products that, in my experience, it deserves.”

        Also, why would the Verge not have moral high ground? They are one of the most respected tech sites around
