Recently there has been news of Windows 11 update (KB5063878 & KB5062660) killing SSD's and HDD's. So I strongly urge everyone not to install any updates and make sure to pause it for as long as possible. It is said that these particular updates are causing data loses and corruption as well as making the SSD being inaccessible/vanishesvanishing. Many of the famous brands are already effected, including Samsung, Corsair, ADATA, WD, Seagate. This is tested by X user Nekorusukii.

1. This bug is trigged when writing large amounts of data (50GB at 60%+ usage according to Nekorusukii). So for the time being do not move/write any data!
2. And uninstall those two updates above as soon as possible.

I have one of those mentioned effected model SSD, but luckily I haven't updated my system yet, so no damage so far!

I assumed the majority of people here use Windows, so I'm posting this in the "Beginners & Help" board since it felt like the most appropriate place.
