Phison Initiates Lawsuit for Counterfeit 'Leaked' Document Regarding Windows SSD Malfunctions - Maintains Investigation into Alleged Issues
In a recent development, Phison, a leading manufacturer of NAND flash controllers, has addressed two concerns related to their SSDs and a falsified document circulating on the internet.
Firstly, it has been confirmed that the Windows 11 update KB5063878 contains a bug that is causing SSD malfunctions. This issue is not exclusive to Phison hardware; it affects multiple SSDs, including those with Phison controllers. The malfunction, reportedly, occurs under heavy write workloads and results in SSD data corruption and drive disappearance [1][3].
In response to the issue, Phison has promised to provide updates and advisories to its partners who may have been impacted. The company is working diligently to ensure any applicable remediation is implemented [1].
Secondly, Phison has officially denied and condemned a circulated document falsely attributed to them about the SSD issues. The company stated that this document is neither an official nor unofficial communication from Phison. In fact, Phison has taken legal action against those circulating the document [4].
The falsified document, titled "Phison SSD Controller Issues Summary," alleges that the August 12 Microsoft Windows Security Updates are causing SSD failures. However, there is no known source for this document [2].
Phison remains committed to product integrity and the success of its partners and end users. The company is continuing to address the circulation of the falsified document through "appropriate legal processes" [5].
It is essential to note that this is not the first time Phison has addressed the SSD failures. Initially, the failures were reported to affect Windows 11 following heavy file transfers [2]. Phison's only official statement on the matter was issued on August 19 [6].
The official statement also mentions the potential impact of the 'KB5063878' and 'KB5062660' updates on Windows 11 on several storage devices, including some supported by Phison [1]. Phison is continuing to review the controllers that may have been affected and is working with industry stakeholders and partners in this regard [1].
In conclusion, while the Windows 11 update KB5063878 has been identified as the source of the SSD malfunctions, it is not a problem exclusive to Phison hardware. Phison has issued a rebuttal against the falsified document regarding the Windows 11 SSD issue and is taking legal action against those circulating it. The company remains committed to ensuring the integrity of its products and the success of its partners and end users.
