As Micron has made plans to exit the consumer SSD and RAM business, its Crucial brand is expected to fade into oblivion, meaning that customers will be left high and dry when seeking warranty replacements for their solid-state drives. One 4TB Crucial X9 external SSD ended up failing, prompting the owner to seek a replacement through the company’s RMA service. The storage manufacturer might have approved the RMA, but instead of offering a replacement drive, it offered the customer a $199.99 refund.

Crucial just lied to the customer by first agreeing to replace the component, but then refused to send the returned product back. User Recommends Not to File RMA Request With Crucial as the Company Straight Up Refused to Return the Defective Product, Giving Him Refund as the Only Option Since the time when Micron exited the consumer business, customers have been having a hard time getting product replacements.
