【Newsletter#254】Do operating system updates pose an SSD failure risk? Backup to an ASUSTOR NAS for data security

[Crystal.Y@AST]

Recently, reports of issues following computer operating system updates have increasingly become widespread. Several computer users have experienced their drives disappearing after performing large write operations (particularly continuous writes of nearly 50 GB or when the drive is over 60% full). Even after restarting, the drive reappears, but the issue reappears when transferring large files again. This bug can not only lead to data corruption, but is particularly damaging to SSDs, as repeated attempts to transfer files will accelerate the wear and tear on their write lifespan.

ASUSTOR reminds everyone again to develop the habit of regular backups.
For Windows users:
Install ASUSTOR Backup Plan locally and choose single, scheduled, or synchronized backups to back up your Windows PC's data to an ASUSTOR NAS. If an incident occurs that corrupts the original data, you can also immediately restore the data to its original location, minimizing the damage.


For Mac users:
Use the built-in Time Machine application in macOS to create a complete backup of your Mac to an ASUSTOR NAS. Supports simultaneous backups from multiple Macs, with each Mac having its own independent account and storage location, ensuring backup independence and personal privacy security.
