Heh, it's worth noting that the Forbes source for those "numbers" is a Redditor who is ballpark estimating based on user reports in a forum.

Didn't realize we were in a time when Forbes sources were nearly unsourced Reddit comments.

At the top, over the article: "Paul Tassi, Contributor". I think the official articles are written by "..., Forbes staff". There's not much distinction these days between the core and the affiliated people. (not that this is an excuse)

I initially read that as 90% of the aftermarket HDD systems were affected rather than 90% of the affected systems were those with aftermarket HDDs.

These numbers come from looking at the problem reports on a forum.
