intelIntel has halted sales of its new 34nm SSDs as a result of a firmware bug which renders the drive’s data inaccessible if users configure and then alter or disable a BIOS password.

    Hope they'll get this right, if we want people to adopt SSD , SSD will need an image of performance and stability. Stories like that doesnt help =/

    That shouldn't hurt the technology too much. That sounds like a minor glitch which should be easy to fix - although unfortunately it means all the units produced with the bad firmware will either have to be patched or recalled.

Hey, be nice. Icrontic is full of good people, we promise.
