It took them a bit longer than expected but Intel has finally issued a fix for that pesky bricking problem affecting their second generation solid-state drives. As previously reported, an October firmware
update (revision 02HA) was supposed to improve performance
by taking advantage of Windows 7's TRIM functionality, but instead left many 34nm X25-M owners with disk read errorsand an otherwise inoperable drive.

It wasn't supposed to include performance improvements on the 80. The only version that got the sequential write boost was the 160GB drive.
