Worried about your data security? Buy a Western Digital SanDisk Extreme
ProSSD!

"Western Digital customers "have widely reported drive failures and
data loss." Krum, in his filing, believes Western Digital is aware of
the problem and not doing enough about it.

"The SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD hard drives, which are also sold under the
WD My Passport brand, have a firmware issue that causes them to
disconnect or become unreadable by computers," he claimed, adding that
his drive was among those that stopped working as expected.

"It is alleged the drives can break down in various ways, including
randomly disconnecting from their host, which could result in
information not being saved correctly or file-system corruption. In any
case, people find they can no longer access their stored documents,
making the SSDs worthless and useless, it is claimed.
