I had one of these SanDisk SSDs and I lost terabytes of data within days of using it. Because of WesternDigital and SanDisk, I had an irreparable loss of art, notes, and photos spanning years of my life.

(Yes, I know, keep three backups, etc.)

Did you send it to a data recovery company? It's usually trivial for them to recover data off drives that fail like this.

But also expensive right?

Sounds like worth it for an “irreparable loss”.

I honestly didn't know this. I wiped the drive again (just to be safe) and was able to get a full refund
