Intel SSD not working right due to BIOS?

[billyray520]

I have a 530 series SSD in my G73jh which has a problem. The drive is not detected on restarts, but is always found on power ups. Intel has been checking this problem out, since a lot of people have been complaining about this problem with their new SSD series here

So Intel is saying that system BIOS does not recognize a newer ATA command:

We have successfully recreated the issue. The cause appears to be that some BIOS implementations do not support a newer ATA feature called “Device Initiated Power Management (DIPM) for Software Setting Preservation (SSP)”. Intel® has recently added this feature to the firmware for newer SSD models.

I have the latest BIOS #213. Doesn't that BIOS have the ATA feature included? I don't find a setting in the BIOS screens. Do newer laptops have that ATA feature?

maybe yes, because G73 is old model, i will pass to dep to ask.

G73JH have support ATA and SATA, but as intel say G73JH have not support, but new models have supported.

Thanks Pitcher! :cool: Intel is working on a SSD BIOS update that will turn off that ATA feature when not compatible.
