what do u mean 7mm? ssds come in 3.5" 2.5" and 1.8" sizes(form factor)

Anybody using Corsair Force 3 90GB and has already updated the firmware to 1.3?

My Intel X18-M 160GB also had exactly the same issue with you, and the SSD is dead, A smart attribute 184 (B8) error indicates End-to-End error, from the Intel communities forum, it is because of the bad cache in the SSD controller.

Is your SSD bought from the lowyat forum seller which sell OEM Intel SSD at very cheap price? I got my Intel SSD 160GB at RM350, I thought it was a good deal, now I realized again cheap stuff doesn't come with quality. the cheap OEM SSD should be a much inferior version that fail easily.
