Earlier this month, I covered reports suggesting that Windows 11 version 24H2 security update KB5063878 was causing certain solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard-disk drives (HDDs) to malfunction. In some rare cases, it seemed like the drives were being completely wiped out, with data becoming unrecoverable.
In other instances, users found that their drive was no longer recognizable until performing a full system restart. Phison, one of the world's largest suppliers of the controllers that these drives require to operate, was named as potentially being the culprit behind the drive failures.
