It's been this price for a couple of weeks now. I returned the first one as it reported the wrong amount of free space (reported 2TB free but unusable for any of it). Second unit did the same thing.

Come to find out Windows 11 starting with 24H2 has an HMB issue for this drive and the 2TB version. If you add this 1TB as a secondary drive with win11 24H2, beware.

A registry change limiting HMB buffer size to zero or 64 MB is the fix.

I put in a ticket with WD/Sandisk and they are investigating

I just grabbed the 2TB to throw in a drawer for later use. Making me consider if I want to test it out first..

There is no updated FW for the 1TB drive

I also bought a 2TB at the time I got the first 1TB and the 2TB was okay from the start. It already had the latest FW.

Sandisk (they are WD's ssd division) has gone back and forth with me on the 1TB version, even calling me to get more info.
