Just did the firmware update and it hosed my Windows 7 installation. The updater showed a successful firware update. Initially the computer booted just fine, but once I was within Windows it installed some drivers and asked for a reboot. That's when the trouble started. Now the drive won't boot Windows 7 anymore. I don't know if it's a Dell problem or Intel problem. The Dell BIOS claims a SMART error. I have a Dell XPS 8000.

You guys probably know this already (as I'm usually the last to know) but Intel has removed the download link for the new Firmware update! Granted this might just be a coincidence but I doubt it, the timing is very suggestive given all the problems people have been posting about! Of course I am now worried even though my firmware update seemed to go through without any problems? Hopefully there will be some sort of official response from Intel ASAP to give us a piece of mind in regards to all this given how many people are bummed out, dissapointed, angry, and confused about whats happening? Keep us posted guys if anyone learns more please!

That's really an interesting information - actually I definitely suggest to wait for an updated firmware (so do I). Hopefully, the bricked drives of the not so lucky guys here will be replaced without any troubles .

Maybe it's wishful thinking but I'm hoping Intel releases a firmware update that can fix the bricked drives. My coolermaster desktop case was designed by morons and if I have to phsyically remove the SSD it will be a 45-minute task.
