Microsoft issues a fresh statement (Sept 3) on Windows 11 SSD corruption reports, denies any connection

Just a quick update on the laptop. It was the SSD. I got a new SSD from wal-mart for 120 bucks (Microcenter wanted $170 for the same drive), installed windows again and I'm up and running.

MSI X870E + 9800X3D: Primary M.2 Slot Failure

The SN850 supports Host Memory Buffer, and Microsoft hosed support for that with Windows 11 24H2. It was horrendously bad. Don't know if 25H2 fixes it.
