      Isn’t it? They produce the flash memory themselves. Also didn’t they do the biggest recall in history with the note 7

        Earlier this year they had major firmware issues bricking 980 and 990 pro SSDs and their response was atrocious. They only did something about it after getting enough bad press for denying countless warranty claims.

          thankfully that was a software issue so I was able to fix mine before it shit the bed. Unfortunately the problem for WD is actually hardware based.

          Did make me think twice about buying samsung in the future tho.

        I mean if we are throwing in their other product lines, Samsung appliances are notoriously bad. Especially their fridges.
