just be glad that the SSD mastermind of the inq, nebojsa, didn't write this article. I guess he would've written that the intel drives are bricking a macbook when you reset your MAC OS X password. of course that would be of no interest to him since his advanced benchmark suite sandra won't run on the mac.

Two errors in this article:

Setting a BIOS drive password didn't brick the drives, removing a BIOS drive password would brick the drive.

Intel's SSD firmware does not have any known problems. Intel's Firmware Update Tool has a known problem with recognizing Macs with NVidia Chipsets.

Ah, that must be it: they spelled the SSD password ("Imasmuggit") using a lower-case "i" instead of capitalized.

I would really love to put the Intel drive into my notebook's ExpressCard slot as an boot drive.

That way Windows and programs could work as fast as they should whilst I still have the ol' rotating harddrive in its old place for data-storage.
