Intel investigating possible bug in SSD 320 drives
Intel is investigating a potential bug that may be causing SSD 320 solid-state drives to fail. The company is offering replacement drives to affected customers until the issue is resolved, a customer service representative said.
In Intel forums, users are complaining about SSD 320 drives crashing due to power issues, causing data loss. In some instances the storage capacity on the drive is being reported as only 8MB after the crash.
"We are investigating the issue," Intel spokesman Daniel Snyder said via e-mail. "Any customer with concerns should call Intel customer support." An Intel technical support representative said that until the issue is resolved, affected customers will be sent a replacement drive. Intel's customer support contacts are listed on its website. The company also offers live chat support.
