They probably pulled the bad drives back from merchant stock to avoid getting returns. Those frequently wind up on Amazon as huge sales. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DrZoidberg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 years ago Not always. Their prime day and Black Friday deals are usually pretty solid. I've gotten drives the last 2 prime days, and a black Friday 4 years ago, and they've lasted the couple years I've had them, and last years 2tb is fine in my PS5 so far. I'd be wary of any sk hynix ones though. I can almost guarantee those are always ripped out of old builds, because that's where all of mine have come from. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Darorad@lemmy.world -9 points 3 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] muddybulldog@mylemmy.win 22 points 3 years ago* (1 child) The manufacturer has acknowledged it’s an issue and has issued at least one patched firmware.
