There was the pin 3 issue.
If you mean the 3.3v pin, I wouldn't classify that issue as a "was" quite yet.
My most modern PSU is a Corsair RM850x, released June 2022 according to the shop page. Now maybe Corsair actually makes shit hardware; I'm no expert. But in any case, I have a pretty freakin new power supply that needs tape.
So honestly, I'd say the misinformation is that the pin issue ever went away.
I shucked an 8TB WD, and it didn't work in my computer. I put it in a WD My Cloud
Yeah, funny enough, the DAS boxes I've used always bypass the pin issue. Or I guess I should say that they function properly.
People say you can get the parts cheaper elsewhere...
But that's literally the only downside I've ever read about him (and I'm at 2 successful purchases myself).
