WD Green 480GB Faulty(DO NOT BUY)

Hi All,

I ordered X30 WD Green 480GB about a year ago.
I am currently sitting with 22 of them that have come back faulty.
Dealer is not willing to assist.
Back in the day, WD was one of the best, I can’t believe the quality of the WD products has gone from bad to worse.

I use WD in my laptops which currently all are M2 NVMe and I have been using the SN350 2TB successfully. More recently I am now using the SN580 which are faster but still top out at 2TB.

Can you post the model number(s) for me

I think it’s because Sandisk manufactures them.

AFAIK Kioxia has a deal with WD to manufacture TLC and QLC NAND logic. WD sells a lot of SSD products every quarter.

Sitting on 22 problematic M.2 SSD suggest a closer look at the problems to see the IDENT and failure profile.

My Lenovo P52 has dual M.2 slots and I have a M.2 NVMe SSD USB-C box and USB cables for any machine.

I can test SSD products in my shop and most damage is severe but if the controller is working then a diagnostic can be done
