A Lenovo laptop from 2011 was brought in for service because the drive was inaccessible. When plugging the drive to a different system as an extra drive, the drive would show itself in disk management as a non-initialized disk with 8MB in size. The SSD in question is an Intel SSD 320 series drive. These drives suffer from a firmware fault where in some cases the drive does not reinitialize properly with the SATA bus, or something of that matter. When this happens, the drive shows up, but as an 8MB volume. The data on the drive is still intact, but the controller will no longer access it. The firmware can be flashed on the drive, but in the case of a drive that has already locked you out, flashing the firmware will wipe the data, according to research. If you have one of these drives in your system, it is important that you act fast to backup your data, and flash the firmware... Or, just get a new SSD as modern SSDs are faster and more reliable.
