Had the WD SSD just die in one of my 5 Home Fedora 37
machines. Reply from WD is just it is out of warranty.
Wondering if others are seeing this or it is just one bad drive.
Have machines monitor all my computers every 15 minutes, so it
reported machine was down. Check machine, and it was showing
errors. So went to reboot it to run fsck, but on reboot, it doesn't
even see the disk in bios.
Tried different cables, and different ports, and even hooked it to
other computers, but no response at all. dmesg doesn't even show
anything when hooked with a USB adapter..
Hooked the old regular hard disk that had been in machine before I
imaged it to the SSD disk. It booted just fine, but that had Fedora
35, so ran the upgrade to 36, and then to 37. So have machine
back up, and restored 99% of the stuff from copies of files on other
machine.
I contacted WD more to see why there was no warning, and if
there was any way to recover data? They did ask for a picture of
top and bottom of disk, and gave them the lshw -c disk info on my
other 5 WD SSD disks. Been happy with speed, but if they are
going to fail like this not sure if WD brand has gone down hill?
Just wonder if there are any options or should do something to
avoid failures. Use to have Novell Servers with Duplex drives, but
fortunately never had any of the SCSI disks fail.
