The 320 had a brickable fw bug? I have 5-10 or so in production and have no issues. Maybe mine have a newer FW. I always update them when I give them out.
It's pretty well documented. The supposed firmware fix doesn't fix the issue [1]
This drive came with my x220 (160gb), shipped March 2012. I have a second Intel 320 (120gb) which is older, and hasn't exhibited issue. Lenovo replaced the 160gb 320 under warranty. I opted to go with a 256gb Samsung 840 pro. The 320's are now external drives.
