Recently, a user from Hong Kong took to social media to voice their grievances. Their Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1TB conked out while still under warranty, and upon sending it in for repairs, they were hit with the news that the wait time could stretch beyond half a year. The culprit? A global shortage in the SSD industry, projected to persist until 2028, which is causing delays in the processing of repair components. If the manufacturer lacks replacement products, they resort to issuing a depreciated refund. Given that the user's five-year warranty was nearing its end, with only a few months left, they wound up with a compensation sum amounting to just a few tens of Hong Kong dollars. This approach has stirred up discontent among consumers, with many criticizing the manufacturer for exploiting the shortage to shirk warranty obligations.
