A Codex bug allegedly filled a user’s SSD, and now the agent may have to clean up the mess
The reply says a Codex bug appears to have killed a 13-month-old Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 4TB that originally cost $478 and is now priced at $902.
The poster adds that the drive is still under warranty, but the real headache is figuring out which of the three identical SSDs in the machine needs replacing. The whole thread reads like a small but memorable agent-era hardware failure story.
