    I was just looking at these at my local Costco. I’m glad I saw this article. It’s like a Public Service Announcement.

    Costco has an awesome returns policy but of course they don’t cover data loss. Gonna avoid that purchase.

      I saw the news about the Sandisk drives like 2 months ago when I was shopping at CostCo. Save $30 and got a 1TB Lexar with 2,000MB/s read writes and a bonus 64 Gig thumb drive instead, it’s been good so far.

      Don’t. Had two go down in about a week. Absolute trash. This is basically how you ruin a company, I’ll never buy their stuff again.
