Apparantly a WD_BLACK SN770 1TB, fw 731100WD, drive is affected by this update. I can confirm that the update to 24H2 was started and that the SSD has gotten a corrupted partition table. Diskpart shows nothing, TestDisk shows double entries and not markers and the log says check_part_gpt failed for partition. With the corresponding line No FAT, NTFS, ext2, JFS, Reiser, cramfs, or XFS marker in the console. I am currently rebuilding the partition table from gpt backup, but I don't know if the 24H2 update has a repartitioning action in it. Also the boot partition is Bitlocker enabled. It is a nice challenge to try and recover it fully.

But, if the update hasn't been completed and the hammering continues, then I think chances are it might happen again.

My guess is that the firmware of the ssd needs to be updated first to account for the HMD bug?

Oh well...
