  24       <div class="date">18th August 2013</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Earlier, I reported about
  26 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html">my
  27 problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk</a>.  Friday I was
  28 told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away.  And as
  29 there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
  30 today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
  31 currently on the disk.</p>
  32
  33 <p>I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
  34 <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>
  35 (aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
  36 according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
  37 disks.  I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
  38 booted the ISO from a USB stick.  The disk was recognized, but the
  39 program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
  40 to insert any Intel firmware.  So no change, and the disk is still
  41 unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
  42 working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware.  No idea how likely
  43 that is.  Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness.  I
  44 got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
  45 the broken disks.</p>
