> it seems to me that SSD firmware has to be more complex than HDD firmware

I think they’re complicated in different ways. A hard desk drive has to have an electromagnet powered up in a motor that arm that moves and reads the magnetic balance of the part of the drive under the read head and correlate that to something? Oh, and there are multiple read heads. Seems ridiculously complex!

Yet somehow firmware bugs are endemic on SSDs far more than they were on HDDs.
