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> - - -
