What’s new: Microsoft is reportedly addressing issues related to Windows 11 24H2 updates (KB5063878 and KB5062660) that are causing data corruption and failures in certain SSD and HDD models, particularly those with Phison NAND controllers. Users have reported drives becoming inaccessible during heavy write operations, with symptoms appearing after approximately 50GB of continuous writing.
Who’s affected
Users with SSDs and HDDs, especially those utilizing Phison NAND controllers, SanDisk Extreme Pro, Corsair Force MP600, Maxio SSD, and KIOXIA drives, may experience data loss or drive inaccessibility after installing the recent updates.
What to do
- Avoid writing large files (tens of gigabytes) or multiple large files in quick succession.
- When extracting large compressed files, do so in smaller batches rather than all at once.
