BababooeyHTJ1) I've seen people mention this or at least a very similar issue on the G2, which people have always widely considered among the most reliable ssds on the market. :rolleyes:
Google is your friend if you don't believe me.

2) You would have to be ignorant to think that this is the only ssd with some sort of firmware issue.

BababooeyHTJGot any evidence to support those claims? You seem to be jumping to conclusions there.

ZubasaFirmware are relatively small piece of software that can be thoroughly debugged, unlike large software such as Windows which are bound to have bugs.

Musselsrelatively small piece of software that has to interact with literally thousands of combinations of hardware and software (OS's)

its nowhere near as simple as you seem to think it is. shit, seagate had similar issues last year with their mechanical drives.

Status:

Intel has reproduced, identified root cause, and developed a firmware update which addresses the Bad Context 13x Error being discussed on the Communities site and elsewhere.

Response plan:

The new firmware update is in final validation testing and is targeted for release on Intel® Communities within the next two weeks. Intel takes firmware updates and issues of reliability very seriously and is taking extra steps to support a smooth release. We appreciate your patience.

Background:

For users unfamiliar with the issue, an Intel SSD 320 Series drive may exhibit a drive capacity of 8MB and an electronic serial # field containing a message of “BAD_CTX 0000013x” due to an unexpected power loss under specific conditions. Once this error occurs, no data on the SSD can be accessed and the user cannot write to or read from the SSD.
