X-35-M? Did I miss a news update?

 

[Guest]

But for other users the update is working fine?
Might be compatibility issues!

Wow Intel is 2/2 for screwing up firmware updates. At least they're decent enough to catch their mistakes, admit fault, and rectify them

I updated mine yesterday in XP and I am not having any issues.

It's a Windows 7 related problem. It doesn't affect XP/Vista AFAIK.

Knock on wood..I have installed the new firmware and hasn't had any problems as of yet. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the 80gb vs 160 gb drives. I have 2 80 gbs drives though. Hopefuly never! And I have Windows 7 Pro installed.

Why is everybody having so much trouble with TRIM support in Windows 7? This feature does work. Microsoft didn't have any trouble with it in their labs. This really isn't that hard to do.

For those that put a thumbs down on my last post about the Intel X-35m... haha.

But But Intel never ever screws up.

It must be a lie by the mainstream media!

I installed it yesterday, no problem(win7 x64/debian linux). I wonder how bricked it actually is for these people, can they see/mount the disk with a linux live cd.

i have 2 80gbs.. i updated the firmware yesterday.. no problem at all. running on vista 64, however my drives are setup in a raid. So Trim wont work 🙁

i wonder when a solution will be out for this.

Them be the MOST EXPENSIVE bricks in the World !

My Windows 7 Pro RTM is still running good after the update. Can I roll back the update by flashing it with the previous update?

Yet more reasons why you shouldn't upgrade anything right when its released, or if you don't really care about stability.

I don't think that this is an "ID10T error" compatibility issues are hard to detect until you hit the market with the product and its already too late. I mean how can they possibly test in all the configurations that are out there to pick from? Good enough if they find a solution to their own mistakes within a couple of days.

Having no problems on my end. Have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 along with the 80GB X-25M (G2) and the firmware update worked fine. Updated the firmware before I heard any news about possible bricking.

This is intel, its more likely there "bad" firmware is still more solid then most other manafacturers

 

[Guest]

I run Ubuntu and already have the firmware .iso on my desktop. Is this a Windows problem or an SSD problem?

 

[jowunger]

be careful before you buy anything from intel. You pay a huge price for those SSD's and not even get the firmware upgraded.

Pfui Intel!

You don't complain when your regular HDD doesn't get a firmware update do you? 😉

The joys of new tech!

 

[whirlednews]

Anyone have an idea about when they might come out with the fix for this?
