Had my 320 ssd for a month, all going well till a usb device BSOD my win7, rebooted to find my disk at 8mb. Waited for firmware update last wednesday as lots of forum discussion. Did Secure erase and firmware update to v1.9 and restored partition on friday. Today usb BSOD again (visual studio blow up, im a software developer) and rebooted to find the drive again 8mb. Anyone else had this problem, looks to me like the firmware update did not fix this type of issue.

Can somebody from Intel please comment on the importance (if any) of FIRST making the ssd powerless for 30-60sec, right after the flashing of the new firmware, BEFORE using it again.

I did. And I got it first time after flashing it to v1.92.

Firmware Version 4PC10362

SongV,

Would you be able to provide any additional details about the circumstances leading to the "8MB bug" AFTER the update to firmware level 1.9.2?

I bought this intel SSD one week ago. Before I flashed its firmware to 4PC10362, it worked well. Yesterday, I just turned on my sony laptop and tried to launch Chrome browser. But the computer prompted me the browser had been damaged. And then the computer froze , as well as Hard Disk LED kept on. I tried to Ctrl + Alt + Del. But then screen became to black and system prompted me to reboot or shut down. I cold shut down the computer. when I turned on the computer again, the SSD capacity became to 8M!

I am not a expert, but for me it looks like any SSD hw or firmware failure manifest as 8MB problem, so that might be only broken SSD we see after firmware update which would fail due hw
