Intel Releases Firmware Update for SSD 320 Drives That Fixes ‘8MB Bug’
By
Intel has posted a firmware update for the Intel SSD 320 Series (firmware 4PC10362) which addresses the ‘8MB Bug’ or the ‘Bad Context 13x Error’ as Intel called it. This is great news and it hopefully puts to bed an issue that has been plaguing Intel for months. If you own an Intel SSD 320 drive you can download firmware 4PC10362 (also called FW version 0362) from www.intel.com/go/ssdfirmware.
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 caused by 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.
