Hey WD/SanDisk,

Since you love calling us “valued customers” everywhere, WHEN do you actually plan to let us EITHER download the firmware files ourselves from a proper source OR fix the absolute disaster that is the WD Dashboard application?!

Also, does anyone know how to RMA all their WD drives at once? Because I am getting beyond tired of this nonsense. How hard can it be?

As a species, we’ve sent people to the Moon, but somehow you still can’t detect your own drives or provide firmware updates properly.

Just because you control 50% of the consumer SSD market doesn’t mean you get to ignore us when things don’t work.

I’ve been trying to solve this for almost two weeks now, and no matter what I do, the only “official” solution is WD Dashboard—which does absolutely nothing when I try to update firmware.

It detects that an update is available, yet it refuses to locate the firmware file. This makes zero sense.

FIX THIS.

And to prove my point, here’s your own WD Dashboard log, showing that even your own software can’t access your own files on your own servers:

Given a 120GB SSD is how old, might be time to get a new one with 256GB or larger now that prices are much lower
