What is the extent of the firmware issue exactly? Like I get that you wouldn't want to use this as your boot drive, but let's say you store data on it (with second backup) and it "bricks", does that mean all the data becomes corrupted but it can be formatted and used again, or it's just nonfunctional at that point?

If it has the IG5236 controller, it's a time bomb.
Use it like a flash card, haha.
No fixes were released and no way to know if the one in the box uses the bad controller until you open it.

The bad IG5236 controller revision is DRAM equipped. When they changed the revision to the Maxio MAP1602 controller they removed the DRAM and is now a Dramless drive. So the controller lottery either you get DRAM and a bad controller or a better controller with no DRAM.

Walmart has a generous 2-month holiday return policy right now. So it might be worth it to buy it, check for the controller and if it's the innogrit you can just return it at the local store with no restock fee.
Thank OP! Worked for me on ps5 smoothly. Added 2GB using yr link and will roll the dice given the high market prices now.. Regarding The controller ppl mention potentially bricking;, if it happens it just ruins the data on the SSD right? Does it have any impact on the PS5 itself, anyone know?

Oof. Almost got excited (which is sad knowing how much they really used to cost), but the two letters I fear in any ssd controller is IG. Classic Innogrit trash, bait and switch with inevitable data loss or inaccessibility. Good luck anyone that buys this 😂😂
