WTF SanDisk. Why can't you be good?

Tell that to WD, it's a shame but SanDisk doesn't exist anymore.

Their USB sticks have been taking a shit for some time too. Replaced 3 in as many years.

Can't tell you how many Sandisk SSD Plus drives I've had simply die. At least 5 I reckon. That was a few years ago now, but yeah I've never had a good opinion on Sandisk + reliability.
