SanDisk's Name is Now Mud

Curse English idioms, I literally thought they were rebranding to Mud.

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.

50% percent off a product that is almost guaranteed to lead to complete data loss?

By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings!

Let's be clear that a failing part is one thing but silently dumping them on the public is the unforgivable failure. I hope shareholders are seeing this and selling.

It took my sleep deprived brain far too long (less than a second, but still) to realise this wasn't a genuine name change.

I feel like there's a better way to title this article

I'm almost certain this article is written by an AI

There's no way this article wasn't written by AI, the formatting is so weird.

Is this article written by AI?!

No, MY name is Mud- oh, wait, yeah, carry on.

Play the primus song

They were acquired by Western Digital in 2016, so why not point at WD?

Literally? Are they pulling an Elon?

How are Samsung's SSD?

I am looking to buy one external drive of 2 TB for Backup of my multi-media collection and 1 M.2 SSD for my laptop upgrades.

If someone can even specify the model that's known to be good would really be helpful.

So what's a better quality option?

Waiting for a Primus fan to make the joke

This explains the SanDisk sale on newegg

So what are good brands for SD cards and SSDs?

Thanks Western Digital!

Had an SSD of theirs fail and it took weeks to get a warranty replacement out and was the biggest hassle ever. If the customer service was tolerable I'd have considered renting, but even without this news I'd never buy or recommend them.

like the fake names of its clones on Aliexpress.

Damn sandisk is really that bad? That’s sad but fuck em

One of the reasons I only shop online with an AMEX card..... fairly easy charge-backs and customer protection/stupidity insurance are included with having one.

Well shit I recently just bought a 256 gb flash drive for storing photos on

Eh I've had good experiences with them.
