Intel Responds To X25-M Fragmentation Issue
Vigile writes "In mid-February, news broke about a potential issue with Intel's X25-M mainstream solid state drives involving fragmentation and performance slow-downs. At that time, after having the news picked up by everyone from CNet to the Wall Street Journal, Intel stated that it had not seen any of these issues but was working with the source to replicate the problem and find a fix if at all possible. Today Intel has essentially admitted to the problem by releasing a new firmware for the X25-M line that not only fixes the flaws found in the drive initially, but also increases write performance across the board."
Pretty sure they have nothing to do with the x25 protocol, and there's a whole lot of other combinations of single letters and numbers, so why overload an existing term?
How we know is more important than what we know.
