Phison Says Windows 11 Update Didn’t Brick Its SSDs After 4,500 Hours of Tests

Phison says extensive validation found no failures on drives linked by users to recent Windows 11 patches.

The hypothetical heatsink required to curb problematic Windows updates.

Overview

  • The company reports more than 4,500 cumulative testing hours and over 2,200 test cycles on potentially affected models without reproducing the problem.
  • Phison says no partners or customers have reported confirmed impacts tied to the Windows 11 updates.
  • User and media posts had pointed to updates KB5063878 and KB5062660 and cited multiple vendors in anecdotal failures.
  • Phison warns a falsified document naming its controllers circulated online and says it has addressed the misinformation.
  • As a precautionary practice, Phison advises using heatsinks or thermal pads for sustained workloads, while some outlets suggest delaying the update until the situation is clearer.
