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 1 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 14900KF | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower GF3 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO Banshee // Z790 Apex Encore | 13900KS | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Dark Base Pro 901 Munchkin // Z790i Edge | 14900K | Arc A770 Phantom Gaming OC | 48GB DDR5-8000 | GameMax 850W | EK Nucleus CR360 Dark || Prime AP201 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 The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

Not sure I want Chineese Junk. Pair it with Apple hardware and you get a disaster.... What is worse bro @Mr. Fox? Apple hardware or rest of the HW in this ssd?

ryan Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 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 1 ZEUS-COMING SOON Omen 16 2021 Zenbook 14 oled Vivobook 15x oled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
