Phison’s E37T, Patriot’s DRAMless speedster, and Acer’s new Copilot+ Swift lineup together sketch the opening act of CES 2026: a clear industry push to marry blistering PCIe Gen5 throughput with lower power, smaller form factors, and on-device AI. The headlines — a DRAMless Phison controller...
Microsoft’s follow-up on the August 2025 Windows 11 update controversy closes one public chapter: after an industry-wide probe, Redmond says it found no evidence that the August cumulative update (commonly tracked as KB5063878) caused the cluster of SSD disappearances and failures reported by...
Microsoft’s recent service alert closes a week of anxious speculation by saying that the August 2025 Windows 11 update is not responsible for a wave of reported SSD disappearances and failures, but the episode leaves important forensic questions and practical lessons for power users, IT teams...
Microsoft’s August cumulative update for Windows 11 (KB5063878) has been linked by multiple independent testers and SSD vendors to a troubling storage regression: under sustained, large write workloads some SSDs temporarily vanish from the operating system — and in a subset of reports files...

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 has opened an investigation after community testers, independent labs and SSD vendors reported that the Windows 11 August cumulative update (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can make certain storage devices — particularly NVMe SSDs — disappear from the operating system during sustained...
Microsoft has acknowledged an active investigation after multiple community researchers, test benches and SSD vendors reported that the Windows 11 August cumulative (commonly tracked as KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can cause certain SSDs to vanish from the operating system during sustained...
The August cumulative for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5063878) has been linked by multiple independent testers and specialist outlets to a reproducible storage regression that, under sustained large write workloads, can make some NVMe SSDs — and a small number of HDDs in isolated reports — disappear from...
Phison has confirmed it is investigating reports that Microsoft’s August cumulative for Windows 11 (24H2) — distributed as KB5063878 — is associated with a storage regression that can make certain NVMe SSDs stop responding or disappear from Windows during large, sustained write operations...

Microsoft’s August cumulative for Windows 11 (the KB5063878 rollup, OS Build 26100.4946) has been linked by independent testers and enthusiast outlets to a storage regression that can make some SSDs temporarily — and in a minority of cases permanently — disappear during sustained large writes...
Microsoft’s latest cumulative for Windows 11 24H2 has been tied to a small but serious cluster of storage failures that can make NVMe SSDs disappear during heavy writes and, in a handful of cases, leave data unreadable — a scare that underscores why updating and backup discipline still matters...
Microsoft’s August cumulative for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5063878) has been linked by independent testers and enthusiast communities to a reproducible storage regression in which certain NVMe SSDs can suddenly stop responding during sustained large writes, sometimes vanishing from Device Manager and...
