Poor response to widespread failure reports has resulted in a tarnished reputation.

    Curse English idioms, I literally thought they were rebranding to Mud.

      It’s because of the capitalization. If the title was “SanDisk’s name is now mud” this wouldn’t happen.

        I mean I get what you’re saying, but a title is always capitalized, no?

          It wasn’t always like that. A shift happened on the internet like 10 years ago I believe.

      I thought they were pulling a Facebook and rebranded themselves to avoid the bad press.

    It took my sleep deprived brain far too long (less than a second, but still) to realise this wasn’t a genuine name change.

    Let’s be clear that a failing part is one thing but silently dumping them on the public is the unforgivable failure. I hope shareholders are seeing this and selling.
