+        <p>Earlier, I reported about
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html">my
+problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk</a>.  Friday I was
+told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away.  And as
+there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
+today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
+currently on the disk.</p>
+
+<p>I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
+<a href="https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3472&DwnldID=18363&ProductFamily=Solid-State+Drives+and+Caching&ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+High+Performance+Solid-State+Drive&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+SSD+520+Series+(180GB%2c+2.5in+SATA+6Gb%2fs%2c+25nm%2c+MLC)&lang=eng">issdfut_2.0.4.iso</a>
+(aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
+according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
+disks.  I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
+booted the ISO from a USB stick.  The disk was recognized, but the
+program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
+to insert any Intel firmware.  So no change, and the disk is still
+unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
+working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware.  No idea how likely
+that is.  Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness.  I
+got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
+the broken disks.</p>
