Louis Rossmann Sues Samsung Over Defective SSD Warranty Dispute

Right to Repair advocate Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung over a defective 4TB 990 Pro SSD. Rossmann claims Samsung refused to replace the drive under warranty, instead offering a $330 refund, despite the drive being available for $949 on Amazon. Rossmann argues that Samsung's warranty terms obligate them to replace the drive with a new or refurbished unit of equal or greater capacity if they cannot repair it, especially since the product is in stock at a higher price.
