Summary of KB5063878 storage-related issues
1. Drives disappear from the OS (SMART data also becomes unreadable); in some cases, access to the buffered tree is possible, but files cannot be read.
2. Occurs during heavy write operations to specific storage.
3. Suspected issue with the operation of the drive cache.
4. High likelihood of file corruption when symptoms occur.
5. Rebooting temporarily recovers the lost state, but the issue reoccurs with similar write operations.
6. Our tests show that symptoms appear on SSDs with over 60% usage after approximately 50GB of continuous writing. Reports indicate similar symptoms on HDDs as well.
7. Our tests suggest that Phison NAND controllers are relatively prone to issues, with DRAM-less models from the same company tending to exhibit issues at lower write volumes.
8. Similar to the WD SN770 HMB issue, restricting or disabling HMB memory does not resolve the symptoms, and a memory leak in the OS-buffered region is suspected
