Completed a new build with this drive, but after putting the machine to sleep (hybrid) a couple of times, the machine Blue screened with a STOP F4 code. Some quick googling suggested a common problem with some SSDs with firmware flaws.
The Intel SSD Toolbox (latest version off the Intel website) doesn't support updating the firmware on this drive. Instead I had to download and burn the Intel SSD firmware update tool to a CD.
However, after booting from this disk, the tool couldn't even detect the drive attached to the machine. At this point I decided to cut my losses and RMA the drive for a refund.
All in all, a very shabby showing from Intel. To think that I'd actually gone for this pricier drive thinking it would be more reliable than the competition because it's from Intel!
Luckily I had a brand new Kingston SSDnow V+200 lying here to replace the Intel drive with which works perfectly fine.
I've also built/upgraded a number of other machines with Corsair Force 3 SSDs as well and (touch wood) they're all running fine as well.
