Intel promises firmware fix for 8MB SSD bug

After acknowledging the issue earlier this month, Intel has now promised a firmware fix for the 320 Series SSD bug that apparently causes some drives to wipe themselves after a power loss. Here's what the company posted on the Intel Support Community site yesterday afternoon:

Intel has reproduced ‘Bad Context 13x Error’ utilizing strenuous testing methods. This ‘Bad Context 13x Error’ can be addressed via a firmware update and Intel is in the process of validating the firmware update. A future update will define the schedule to deliver the firmware fix.
