Why is it not released already? Yes, that is a rhetorical question. I don't own any of them. I have a couple of WD Passports that are too old and slow to use and they sucked the day they were new. They were slower than normal when slow was normal. 1 1 Banshee // Z690 Dark K|NGP|N | 13900K | 6900 XT OC Formula+Byski Block | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Dark Base Pro 901 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 13900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8200 | RM1200x SHIFT | HC-500A Chiller | MO-RA3 360 || Praxis Wetbench Half-Breed // Dell Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth+MXM Quadro P5000 | Sub-$500 Grade A Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 not good, I always find it funny how companies release their garbage and only rectify it once a lawsuit ensues. why don't they just do the right thing from the start, as soon as there is a problem correct it and take the nessessary measures,don't just sit on it until your precious money is at stake. You would think its just a few corrupt companies but the truth is it's every company, not one honest company exists unless we are talking red cross/blue cross or a non for profit company Neo : Omen 16 2021 | i7-11800h | 64Gb ram | RTX 3060 (140w) modded | 2tb Evo plus/1tb | 1080p 100srgb 144hz | Windows 10 | Sony 55X85J | ROG Flare | Razer basilisk X Morpheus : HP 15-dy2018ca - 11th gen I5 | 16gb DDR 4 | 1tb SSD | intel Xe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
