Comment on Seagate to Shut Down One of Its Largest HDD Assembly Plantsparent

Comments

I used to write SSD firmware (not Crucial though!) and new code can always be buggy despite our best effort to test it thoroughly. However many of the SSD companies have carried their firmware through multiple generations now and the code has matured during that time so I expect this to be less of an issue. The bigger issue now will be a process shrink resulting in NAND issue that has not been identified before to be properly mitigated by the controller/firmware so I personally when a year for a product to mature before buying it.
