Last week, Microsoft pushed a Windows 11 update that was reportedly breaking several SSDs. What was supposed to be a routine "patch Tuesday" turned into a headache for customers and a PR nightmare for manufacturers. Chief among them was Phison, a prolific name in the industry whose controllers are used in drives across multiple applications—both consumer and business. Now, Phison has come forward to essentially deny these reports following internal testing, in a new press release.
In a statement, the company told Tom's Hardware that "... Phison dedicated over 4,500 cumulative testing hours to the drives reported as potentially impacted and conducted more than 2,200 test cycles. We were unable to reproduce the reported issue, and no partners or customers have reported that the issue affected their drives at this time."
