S3500 Series 800GB w 8MB bug!

[JHeds1]

Got a brand new SSD DC S3500 Series 800 GB disk for my Macbook Pro in february 2014.

Last night it kicked the bucket after a forced power off - from 800 GB to 8,4 MB in 1 secs.

Now, since this bug has been around since 2011, has anyone found a way to recover any data from a drive that's been hit?

I am encountering this issue as well.

Can you recall what state or what operation your notebook was performing before going to the 8MB state?

A secure erase can revive the drive, but data will be erased.

My mac was starting up from sleep mode but before I was able to login I got the spinning beach ball for some reason. My patience ran out after about 5 minutes, I forced a power-off by pressing the pwr button for a couple of secs. At the next startup I got a folder icon with a flashing question mark...then it was all over.

Thanks for the links, Joe_Intel.

My main concern now is trust! My impression was that this issue was solved? I mean, It 's been two and a half yrs since it was acknowledged by Intel (on the 320 series).
