Intel apparently mislead the press because even we thought that Intel had source code access but LSI/SandForce informed us later that even Intel didn't get full access to the source code.
Is it possible to know how much control does intel have over the sandforce firmware ?
It seems that they have their unique issues, for example, there are some issues working with AMD motherboards, and also, the newest model (intel 530 ssd) having issues being recognized by the system after a soft reboot. ... Those issues that are unique to intel, which suggest that they have some sort of special customization ?
