I knew that. Didn't know there is a recall going on. This is probably the reason for the drives disappearing from the retailers.
My G1 is on Ebay and G2 is coming Tuesday. All that might get me a better price for the G1.

I can understand if we wont get native TRIM support, but I don't see how Intel cannot bring a tool such as OCZ's wiper to TRIM the drive.
IMO - bad move by Intel :down:
Please, correct me if I am wrong on this one.
Actually this wouldn't be a problem for me because I never set BIOS passwords anyway. :shrug:Quote:

10 August 2009 2CV102G9 This firmware revision is for X25-M 34nm products only (X18-M 34nm products do not require this firmware update) and fixes the following two issues:
1) System hangs with BIOS drive password enabled
2) System inoperable when BIOS drive password disabled or changed
For updates and complete information on known issues see:

Good to know the firmware is released. But still , the G2s aren't back on stores. I got a bad feeling about this.
Thanks for the update. It looks like it was probably just validated today (I'm sure they released it ASAP to avoid any more problems for users that have drives). Hopefully that means the previously manufacturered drives can be flashed and sent out in the next couple of days.

Hows that bad? It might take a day or 2 before we start seeing them on sites again due to shipping.Quote:

Edit
Some stores are lowering their G1 prices to below $250, might be the exit strategy.???
