So because backups exist, everyone should be okay with buying bad hardware?
I know you're not actually saying that, but countering "this is a known firmware fault" with a reminder that backups should be done sure makes it look like you're saying that. There's still value in making sure consumers' money goes to products that last.
i think it’s the “we just lost 3TB of data” part… either the headline is hyperbole, in which case screw the clickbaint… or they lost 3TB of data which is always a good time to remind people that cheap NAND flash is cheap NAND flash
