Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data

Whoa holy shit what

[…] the update triggered storage failures that cause drives to disappear, making them and their corresponding SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) unreadable by the OS, according to a new report. The issue purportedly surfaces during heavy write operations to certain NVMe SSDs as well as HDDs, especially when continuous sustained writes approach 50 GB on drives and exceed 60 per cent controller usage. This could potentially lead to a "high likelihood of file corruption when symptoms occurs" adds the report (Translated from Japanese by Grok AI).

… oh

Why always with the clickbaity headlines?

    Happened to one of my drives some months ago.
    Drive wasnt mounted, couldnt be read. Diskmanagement displayed "GPT protected partition".
    In the end I bought a new drive (that was on some December day before Christmas Eve) and restored from backup.

    Fun times to test the restore.
