    o_O Intel making another new SSD? But their "Postville" 34nm SSD are still new lol.

    Anyways their Postville line has been out since sometime before July 27th 2009, I don't know when the actual date was.

    Now the real question is, When will production and sales of the Postville resume.

    Thanks for the reply. In UK, I've been looking at different website for the Intel SSD. I can't tell the different b/w the old and new Intel SSD.

    How do I spot the difference?

    Look at the P/N, the old one will have G1 at the end and the new one, G2. (usually it will be GxCx or Gx0x, where C and 0 are revisions within the same Generation).

    I've checked websites for G2C1, but there are not available at the moment.

    Does anyone know went it'll be available again after the bug fix?

    I highly suggest finding other sources before posting here again lol. Engadget already posted a few days ago about how the Intel Bios Password issue they were having was fixed and that the new firmware was released. So just be patient and wait let the rest of the lot.
    Availability depends on your local stores, places like NewEgg are probably going to be one of the first to get restocked I'm assuming.
