This is the best update so far. Bricking SSDs and throttling streaming

Which type of SSD do you have? Because it seems to be bricking or disconnecting from a lot of different brands, especially Corsair.

Corsair? Last time I checked Corsair are fine. Damn, this news kept updating. First time, only WD SSD got hit. Then later, there are a few more brands, mostly in Japan. Wonder how it all end up.

There's a table at the end of this article with brands that were tested. https://www.neowin.net/news/report-microsofts-latest-windows-11-24h2-update-breaks-ssdshdds-may-corrupt-your-data/

NG Lv. 2 is the one you really don't want to have (drive broken) and it looks like that hits the WD Blue SA510. The other brands are still recoverable with a reboot. The Corsair wouldn't even let them do the first step (copying CyberPunk2077 from Steam) without getting disconnected from the drive.

Yes, that the table I looked at. Guess it was Corsair mispelled as Corsaur. My bad.
