Western Digital (WD) has released a firmware update for its solid-state drives (SSDs) following numerous user complaints of blue screen errors (BSOD) when installing the Windows 11 version 24H2 update.

BSOD Issue in Windows 11 24H2 Installation

Owners of WD SSDs, especially the WD Black SN770 and WD Blue SN580, have experienced an issue during the Windows 11 24H2 update. When running the operating system or updating it, users faced a crash accompanied by a blue screen error; normal operation of the device or installation of updates was thus impossible.

Later, it became clear that the error was caused by the incompatibility of the outdated SSD firmware with the new Windows update, in particular, due to the lack of DRAM in the drives and the use of system memory for caching.
