nope.... notta... no way 'jose...

nor any real reason for this to be a "news" item, at least on a forum that mostly caters to normal, everyday pc users, and also, since these drives are both slow AF and of limited capacities, they are unlikely to drum up any new business for the mfgr anyways....

Anyone who doesn't live in the "USA is the center of the world, hurr-durr!" part of the world and works on the more industrial stuff probably has seen their product from time to time. I remember seeing SSDs branded by them in some rugged devices. I can say nothing about the quality - they seem to be rebranded parts made by someone else - but, at least, I haven't seen any failed ones.
