Intel x25-m just failed all over my macbook pro

Pretty much:
black drive = g1
silver drive = g2

Ah. Black drive. Bad?


Any recovery firms worth trying? Intel keeps saying, naw, not worth it.

I'm not sure man. I just restored from a backup. I think those firms focus on Magnetics. They could probably do flash (infact i'm sure they've recieved an obliterated flash drive once or twice) but the cost would be outrageous. We don't really know why these drives failed, just that they did spontaneously. So your data could be completely gone or simply inaccessible by a blown controller (or something. Just a guess).

On that note, i've been having a bit of delayed operation on my replacement unit. No spontaneous deaths, but annoying stutters. I plan on RMAing this drive once the G3s come out.

Anyway sorry for your hassles + good luck.
