Intel Pulls SSD Firmware Day After Release
CWmike writes "Intel has pulled a firmware upgrade it released on Monday for its X25-M consumer solid-state drives after users complained that the software caused crashes. The company on Monday made available a software package called SSD Toolbox to monitor and manage the performance and health of X25-M SSDs on systems running Windows 7. The package included a firmware upgrade and software called SSD Optimizer that included diagnostic tools to help keep the Intel SSD running at high performance. 'We have been contacted by users with issues with the 34-nanometer Intel SSD firmware upgrade and are investigating. We take all sightings and issues seriously and are working toward resolution. We have temporarily taken down the firmware link while we investigate,' an Intel spokesman said in an e-mail. The spokesman declined to comment on when the company would issue updated firmware."
You're a victim of the mental retards that are getting mod points these days.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Don't sweat it; like oodaloop said, just keep posting informative and interesting comments. As to the why, I suspect I know who the culprit is, as you only have one freak.
BTW, don't try for funny. Funny gains no karma, but attempted humor often gets modded troll or flamebait.
Free Martian Whores!
I want to thank everyone who took an interest. I do have thick skin, and I can take the abuse, but in this case I felt compelled to fight for the principle of the thing. Anyway, I apologize again for the off-topic post. Thanks!
