SanDisk SSDs have had reliability issues, especially with the Extreme and Extreme Pro portable models. Many users reported sudden data loss and drive failures, even after firmware updates were released. These problems became widely known in 2023. While some SanDisk SSDs work well for everyday use, it’s risky to rely on them for important data without backups. For better reliability, consider alternatives like Samsung or Crucial.

When is the beta release supposed to launch?
As per my experience, SanDisk SSDs are generally considered reliable for everyday use and have been widely used across consumer and professional setups. However, in recent years, there have been increasing reports—particularly involving SanDisk Extreme and Extreme Pro portable SSDs—where users experienced sudden data loss or drives becoming unreadable. Western Digital (SanDisk’s parent company) acknowledged these issues and released firmware updates to address them. If you’re using one of those models, it’s essential to update to the latest firmware and avoid using affected production batches. As for critical data storage, it’s wise to always maintain a secondary backup, regardless of brand, since no drive is immune to failure.
