Having read a proper report on this earlier today, that headline is infuriating.

From the concept of a "gaming SSD" to the implication that the drives are being physically damaged... Maybe there's a reason why written gaming media died, you guys.

    Yeah, from what it appears to say is, update can caused corrupted data.

    Which sucks, but it isn't breaking anything physically

    It seems like it can make some drives disappear from the system under heavy use and under some cases make SMART misbehave.

    It's pretty bad, but so far direct reports are apparently only coming from Japan, so it may be a regional thing. Definitely a wait and see scenario.
