Just an FYI on Sandisk.

They were acquired by Western Digital in 2016.

So this bullshit falls as much at WD's feet as it does their wholly owned subsidiary, Sandisk.

Wait... Is that true? Holy fuck.

Edit: Yes. Yes it is. Fuck.

I completely lost trust in Western Digital after they lied about their NAS drives. Cost me a lot of money that stunt.

They are still operated pretty separately internally.

These drives were sold under both brands, the response has been the same for both.
