Chip-maker Intel has promised to supply a fix for a recently released firmware update, which once applied, bricked certain users' solid-state drives (SSD).
Updating promised to make the X25-M series of SSDs more efficient, assuring speed increases of up-to 40%. Even though some users have had the pleasure of enjoying the detailed performance upgrade, certain users have not been so lucky, experiencing a software crash and ending up with bricked devices.
The glitch in the firmware has been identified as a problem only for those running the 64-bit edition of Windows 7. Intel's Alan Frost explained that the company had "replicated the issue" internally and were "working on a fix" with the resolution being seen "as a high priority", unfortunately he failed to deliver a solid date for the fix's availability.
