    If intel keeps putting out these 'thoroughly' tested firmwares, they'll replace magnetic drives in 100 years -

    @yemski: How are they with RMAing the bricked ones. It sounds like Patriot is the way to go, at least with their Torq SSDs as they give them a 10 year warranty. #intelbrickedssdbug

    Which brings us to the 3-day firmware rule. Always wait 3 days before flashing a new firmware. #intelbrickedssdbug

    So is there some sort of compensation for all the people Intel appears to have fucked? I don't have an SSD and I don't know what exactly happens when one is "bricked" but I assume it means it's unusable now. Any thoughts people? #intelbrickedssdbug

    @matt_mcmhn: They have 3 year warranties for the SSD's. I had them replace one of my SSD's that was stuttering. #intelbrickedssdbug

    @antpwny: I'm going to sound like a Patriot sales rep, but I'm not. I've heard great things about Patriot's Torqx line. They're fast, have a 10 year warranty, and are cheaper than Intel. They look like they're the way to go for the long haul. #intelbrickedssdbug

    I wonder how long it will take for SSD's to replace magnetic disks? #intelbrickedssdbug
