Between this problem and all the counterfeit SanDisk products on Amazon, sandisk has pretty much ruined their reputation.

But they saved a whopping $0.50 per drive!

I've never had a problem with my WD drives, unlike Seagate. But, I've only used their HDDs, not SSDs (go Samsung Evo or go home). I have a few external drives that are nearly 20yo and still going strong (although I just use them as cache drives due to their age)
