Intel Acknowledges 320 Series SSD Bug

July 15, 2011 · by John Ponio

If you have a 320 Series Intel SSD, chances are if you haven’t experienced a *big* bug yet, you will soon. A lot of people have been experiencing a bug, speculation that it’s the controller, that makes the drive show up as an 8MB drive after a power failure. So if you have a 600GB SSD, it could end up as an 8MB drive. Back up now before reading on, if you have a drive in the series. An Intel rep posted:

If you experience any issue with your Intel SSD, please contact your Intel representative or Intel customer support (via web: www.intel.com or phone: www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/contact/phone) . We will provide an update when we have more information. Alan Intel’s NVM Solutions Group
