The reporter’s own “test” proves this is caused by faulty drives unable to sustain the speed they advertise, not Windows.
Why would IO speed be a factor in whether a user's data is corrupted? That just sounds like a race condition.
Are you suggesting the drives are accessed more slowly before this update?
Maybe ? I know R/W speeds used to be a lot slower in Windows than Linux but I thought they fixed that a few years ago.
That's mostly related to Windows Defender intercepting reads and writes and hasn't truly been fixed.
Sometimes it's literally faster to read a database using WSL than the native system.
