Intel Confirms SSD Data Corruption Issue, Suspends Shipments Pending Firmware Update
"...Intel has confirmed that it is delaying shipments of its new SSDs due to a data corruption issue affecting all of the new drives.
The problem occurs when a user sets a BIOS drive password on the new SSDs and then disables or changes the password. If the user powers off the computer, the drive will become inoperable and the data stored on it will remain inaccessible."
It is pretty specific but it sure throws a wet blanket on a hot new product. I have not tried this, can you set a BIOS drive password on an Intel Mac?
