Phison’s Proactive Approach to Windows 11 Updates
On August 18, Phison became aware of the KB5063878 and KB5062660 updates for Windows 11, which raised concerns regarding their potential impact on various storage devices, including those supported by Phison. In a commendable display of diligence, the company allocated over 4,500 cumulative testing hours to assess the drives that were reported as possibly affected. This extensive effort included conducting more than 2,200 test cycles to ensure the integrity and performance of their products.
Despite these thorough evaluations, Phison has not been able to replicate the reported issues. Furthermore, there have been no indications from partners or customers that their drives have been adversely affected by the updates at this time. This outcome reinforces Phison’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of reliability in their storage solutions.
In light of the situation, Phison is dedicated to ongoing monitoring and collaboration with industry partners to ensure that any emerging concerns are promptly addressed.
Best Practices for End Users
While Phison’s validation testing has not uncovered any issues related to the recent Windows 11 updates, the company has taken the initiative to share industry best practices aimed at optimizing the performance of high-performance storage devices. Users are encouraged to implement the following recommendations:
- For extended workloads, such as transferring large files or decompressing substantial archives, it is essential to utilize a proper heatsink or thermal pad with the storage device.
- This practice helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, significantly reduces the likelihood of thermal throttling, and ensures sustained performance throughout demanding tasks.
