    Question Seeking aid with the notorious Kingston A400S37 SSD

    Yeah, the twice mentioned issue of the SMI controller got "our A400 SSD product line is build with 3D Nand with variable BOM's" reply. About the latter, I think I'll get aggressive with my reply if their 'best and final solution' to the issue at hand is to ship the drive across the continent.
