Hello. I bought 240 WD 240 GB Green SSDs. I replaced the HDDs where I work with these SSDs. I installed it in the first months of 2023. After a few months, mass malfunctions began to occur. .

Bios not detecting SSD. Windows and WD Dashboard do not recognize the SSD when I connect it via the external port. So far, 48 SSDs have failed. It continues to malfunction. I created an RMA record for the faulty ones and had them replaced.

Most likely they will all fail. The service does not provide information as to why it malfunctioned. How will I trust and store data on this SSD? All SSDs will fail.
SSD Serial number: 221XXXXXXXXXX Production Dates: Between April 13, 2022 - April 21, 2022.
Their warranty is still valid. However, WD Türkiye distributor does not accept bulk replacement. What would you recommend me to do??

This faulty product should have been recalled.

It looks like these SSDs might have a manufacturing issue. Keep a record of all the failed ones and contact WD’s global support to explain the problem and request a bulk replacement. Ask them to check if this batch has a defect. In the meantime, make sure to back up your data and consider using a different model for new installations.

I suggest a USB stick with Windows File History on it so that in case of a failure recovery is fast and easy, 32GB or 64GB seems to be adequate
