The drive did go into read only, until power cycled. As documented.

No it didnt, it died when their test software tried to write to it. it :

"is supposed to put the 335 Series in a read-only"

but instead it:

"write errors started appearing in Anvil's Storage Utilities, the application tasked with flooding the SSDs with writes. The Anvil app actually froze"

whole computer stopped and two reboots later there was no drive and no read-only data to access. There was no read only state at any point.

Basically Intel drive died like every other consumer SSD dies, taking all of your goat pr0n with him.

Even Intel, behemoth of reliable server hardware, wasnt able to fix Sandforce problems.
According to Intel representative Graceful Failover of SSD drive means you _kill_ the drive in software during a reboot :DDD and not switch it to read only mode (like you promise in the documentation).

Kiss your perfectly readable data goodbye.
