I am a trans woman (she/her) in my late forties, living in the middle of nowhere in Scotland with my husband, puppy and three cats. I am poly, pan, queer, kinky and witchy but despite all that I mostly live a quiet life. I enjoy watching esports, cooking, music, photography and techy stuff.
All the more reason for them to be transparent, name the problem, remove the affected stock from sale, set up some kind of recovery and/or compensation service, and write off the loss. Otherwise “SanDisk” will mean “you have shit on your shoe” forever. In the storage space a brand has to mean “safe” or its dead.
Maybe they are still finding the edges of the problem. Maybe.
Welcome to your self-wiping stock price WD.
Surely they need to be completely transparent at this point to avoid the Ratners effect? I am certainly never buying SanDisk / Western Digital labelled storage ever again and I will be researching carefully next time I need storage to make sure I don’t buy relabelled stuff.
I currently have SanDisk microSD cards in my DSLR so I will have to think about getting a different manufacturers card in there and saving to both in parallel just in case. I might just bin the sandisk card just to be sure, though. Their name is in the gutter already - do they realise that?
Some are just a long con.
I really hope Elon starts complaining about his baby being deadnamed in the media.

Native bluetooth trackpad would be nice too.
