Man who updated his Windows 11 got his SSD physically destroyed!

The news site is mostly for mobile phone internet users but it does cover some Windows 11 things as well

https://mobiili.fi/2025/08/21/katastrofaalinen-windows-11-paivitys-ssd-tallennusmuisteja-tuhoutunut/

He installed Windows 11 update named KB5063878. It destroyed SSD.

SSD drives with Phison branded controller ship (the company who sells the drive can be anyone except Samsung and Intel, Samsung uses only Samsung controller and Intel uses either Samsung or Intel).

The problem seems to be that after the update Windows starts writing random bytes on free space on SSD and this goes on forever until drive is ruined.

It doesnt take more than a couple of days to ruin a cheap SSD which cells cannot whitstand 24/7 writecycle. Expensive industrial SSD:s can do that for up to two years.

Slowpoke

AYYYYYYYYYY PERKEEELEEEEEE

I have win10, will they force us to upgrade to 11? I'm kinda scared Ill have to switch to I dont know what. Ffs I just want to browse, nothing else

>win 10
not yet, hell you could still use win 7 until steam went gay and dropped support.

Microjeet are however dropping win 10 support soon ish? so no gay updates and >win 10 is no longer supported by steam

>>513617438
No, you wont be forced to do shit. Everything will work as before, you just wont get anymore updates (including security fixes if you care about that).

>>513617438
if you dont play vidya just get linux desu

>>513617564
vidya works fine on linux, in some cases better than on windows even with the added translation layer overhead

>>513617776
if you have amd*

Get rid of windows, wipe the drive completely, repartition and install Linux

>>513617143 (OP)
nigger I don't want to hear it. you winbabies deserve everything. linux is almost perfect now.
>muh nvidia
nvidia has open-sourced their kernel modules and have been making huge improvements to their linux drivers
>muh adobe/office suite/
winapps exists
>muh vidya gayms
almost everything works except for games that explicitly go out of their way to install spyware on your computer (klac)
you deserve to get raped by pluton and AI bullshit.

I did tech support for Windows for four years, during the rollout of win 10. I only ever used Windows for work in a virtual machine, you'd have to be a psychopath to run it on the bare metal. Linux all the way. You know how good it feels to have not seen one forced update since leaving so does years ago? Win 7 was the last bearable version.

>>513618084
>AMD
On average you will lose ~5% in performance compared to windows, on rare occasion a lot more, on another rare occasion you will gain some.
>NVIDIA
On average you will lose ~20% in performance, half if not more, more often than you'd like

If you think linux is worth it, go ahead.

>>513618275
>Win 7 was the last bearable version.
yeah I stopped using windows after 7 as well

I mean I've used 10 but not on my main
I haven't touched 11, it seems to be strictly meant for tech illiterate morons who will literally eat excrement if microsoft offers it to them

>>513618450
>On average you will lose ~20% in performance, half if not more, more often than you'd like
no you won't. you might on dx12 because there is a performance bug that is going to be addressed by october (possibly)

SAAAAR ITS A BUG SAAAR ITS GOING TO BE ADRESSED IN 2 WEEKS SAAAAR
NOOOO SAAAR, DO NOT REDEEM PERFORMANCE SAAAAR, WON'T LOSE ANY SAAAAAAAAAAR

>>513617438
Yes. I had win10 with all updates turned off and it stillbudpated itself one night.

They didn't finish the thought. The Windows update carries firmware updates for certified vendors. How the blocks are arranged on the physical level is entirely up to the chip firmware. So the hw manufacturer is the only one to blame in this situation.

My SSD Linux system drive has been on 24/7 for 14 years straight and refuses to die or even show a single error. Are we living in a simulation?

Post your uname -a output lol

Or maybe a miner worm on his computer? Either way, the idea that a fucking end user can discover a fatal flaw on HIS hw is absurd.

>>513617804
I have an AMD cpu and an nvidia gpu. Bazzite works without issues with them.

>>513617804
i have an intel cpu and an old nvidia gpu and my stalker gamma runs better on linux. i got like 10+ fps on linux which is a lot for me

>>513618822
No.

NOTHING BURGER

i have phison ssd, still shows 99% remaining life, windows writes 0kb/s in idle (just checked)

What do you expect, vidrel is the Windows 11 development process.
I have never used it, I am literally boycotting it. If I have to use Windows it's 10 LTSC and I hate that as well. 7 was the last true good Windows.

What dogshit

>>513618641
Russnigger is seething kek. I tried to explain something to one of your countrymen on a discord long time ago but no some russnigger streamer retard said "my shit sucks because its AMD" and so he bought some intel slop for an exorbitant sum, cause streamer retard said AMD bad. Then he ragequit. Nation of cucks, historical fact.

>Windows 11 update was worst ever!
nah, that was XP to Vista. you're just a child with limited life experience. why are you still using windoze btw? you should've installed linux by now.

Anyone stupid enough to use Windows 11 deserves that

>>513617143 (OP)
Daily reminder for you to stop this spam bullshit and get a job.

>>513620125
WTF. Looks like that Jeet is in a Starbucks. Why the fuck did he not go to the toilet?!

Sadly, I am forced to use WIN11 for work. There are professional programs that are not supported on Linux.
