Phison’s terse lab summary — that it “was unable to reproduce” the reports that a mid‑August Windows 11 update could “brick” SSDs after more than 4,500 cumulative test hours — changed the tone of a fast‑moving controversy, but it did not close the book on a worrying, reproducible symptom set...
A wave of community test results and vendor confirmations this week has put the latest Windows 11 cumulative update under a harsh spotlight: several SSDs can disappear from Windows during sustained, large write operations after installing the August 12, 2025 update (KB5063878), with a...
Microsoft and several SSD vendors are investigating reports that the August 12, 2025 cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can trigger a reproducible storage regression where some SSDs vanish from the operating system during sustained, large sequential writes — a...
Microsoft and several SSD vendors are investigating reports that the August 12, 2025 cumulative update for Windows 11 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can trigger a storage regression that makes some SSDs disappear during sustained, large writes — a failure mode that, in a minority of reports...

Microsoft and SSD vendors have opened an investigation after multiple independent testers and users reported that the August 12, 2025 Windows 11 cumulative update (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can cause some NVMe and SATA drives to stop responding, vanish from the operating system, and — in a...
Microsoft’s August cumulative for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5063878) has been tied to reports that, under specific heavy-write conditions, some NVMe SSDs — particularly Phison-controller models — and a small number of HDDs can become inaccessible and in some cases suffer file corruption, prompting...
Microsoft’s August cumulative for Windows 11 — KB5063878 (OS Build 26100.4946) — has been linked by independent testers and enthusiast communities to a reproducible and severe storage fault: under sustained large sequential writes (reports center around the 50 GB range), certain NVMe SSDs—and a...
Microsoft’s staggered Windows 11 24H2 rollout has tripped a serious compatibility landmine: scattered but reproducible reports show that one recent cumulative update can cause some NVMe SSDs to become unresponsive or vanish during sustained large writes, and earlier instances of the 24H2 feature...

Microsoft's August cumulative update for Windows 11 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) has been linked in community reports to NVMe SSDs becoming inaccessible after sustained, heavy file writes — an issue that has reopened concerns about storage stability in the 24H2 branch and forced a cautious...
older HDDs are more resistant to demagnetization compared to modern 2.5" laptop HDDs?
demagnetization is the leading cause of data loss and corruption in long-term archiving data?
A surface test of my hard disk with some partition tools showed one or more bad sectors.
How can I find out exactly which of my files allocated space these bad sectors in the past?
....and which are now corrupted?
I have heard that a "chkdsk" run could repair/exclude these bad sectors...
just wanting to run this past you guys … this post is straight from our good friends at bleepingcomputer.com … and the issue is in regards to the inherent vulnerabilities with current ssd-drives.
i don't have much to say, since i do not own an ssd-drive …...
