That counter-argument is invalid...
The security issues I am referring to do affect their storage technology.
And why would I give up purchasing PC tech when there are other vendors/manufacturers out there that do not face these same security flaws?
That made no sense.
There has yet to be anything about their consumer SSDs. Only flaw I can find was in their DC products but has been patched out. It also required physical access to the device to even utilize the exploit.
Now if you are talking about RST thats different and is not involved with their SSDs. RST is specifically for their chipsets storage controller.

Researchers at Radboud University have found critical security flaws in several popular Crucial and Samsung solid state drives (SSDs), which they say can

No company is safe. And as I said a lot of flaws tend to get fixed without anyone ever knowing in firmware and software updates.
