What happens when non-factual data is spread? Who do we listen to and what actually is true?
"Recent reports indicated a potential issue with Phison SSD controllers after a Windows update (KB5063878), leading to drive failures and data corruption, particularly under heavy write loads. However, both Phison and Microsoft have denied a broad issue, with Phison stating its extensive testing could not reproduce the problem and Microsoft focusing on the issue's complexity and potential root in the Windows update itself, not Phison controllers. Users experiencing problems should pause Windows updates and avoid large file transfers, while Phison recommends using heatsinks to prevent overheating, which can slow drives and lead to issues."
