The new version of Windows 11 broke down the SSD / HDD. The data was blown unaware. 🚨

After Microsoft released the 24H2 version of Windows 11 update (KB5063878), serious problems were quickly reported following, particularly with SSD users using Phison DRAM-less controllers and enterprise-grade HDDs, which posed a high risk of the device suddenly disappearing from the system.

.

Initial symptoms usually occur after a user writes more than 50GB of continuous data, such as game updates or dozens of GB of video copies. Then the SSD / HDD is not shown on the system. The startup port still does not find the drive. No more access to partitions or files. Some cases even cause permanent data damage without recovery.

.

This problem was first discovered by users in Japan, and later technical tests were conducted on a total of 21 drives. Phison controller-based drives (such as the Corsair Force MP600, SanDisk Extreme PRO NVMe, Kioxia Exceria Plus G4) and some HDDs were found to show abnormal symptoms when the system was writing continuous files, and high controller loads.

.

As a result, the system cannot read SMART data, and the drive may sometimes recover temporarily after restart, but will soon be recovered, with experts expecting the main cause to a memory leak in the Windows cache system, which affects buffer data management.

.

Although most reports are currently limited to Japan, users in international forums are starting to share similar experiences. Initial exits suggest that you avoid writing files larger than 50GB, keep your backup, or Rollback updates back to previous versions, and keep close track of Microsoft's news. Because there are no permanent editing patches out now, waiting for automatic updates may not be safe at this time for vulnerable users.
