I read the article, it’s also shit and fails to properly talk about the issue instead of ranting about data loss.

Did you read the article? Because as far as I can see it fails to actually say shit about the problem. From just this article I can see why people are blaming the author for not having redundancy.

The Arstechnica articles however do actually say what’s going on, so yeah this appears to be a real issue with these drives disconnecting.

Copy/pasted text stays with time too and doesn’t have the issues that pictures of text do. Also hosted images disappear all the time.
