Restore SSD from scratch? Only 32Kb visible

Hi, community! Need help!

One day my Macbook Air 2012 stuck and I restarted (after 4s) with power button. Got error -60003D.

After I managed to start macbook from external drive I got this about native internal SSD:

Capacity: 33 KB (32,768 bytes)

Model: SandForce{200026BB}

Revision: 306ABBR0

Serial Number: 1

Native Command Queuing: Yes

Queue Depth: 32

Removable Media: No

Detachable Drive: No

BSD Name: disk0

Medium Type: Solid State

TRIM Support: No

Partition Map Type: Unknown

S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported

(should be 128Gb)

Sorry, If this problem is too obvious and I miss it in search.

I'm really miss my tiny comfortable macbook. 🙂

Thanks in advance for your help!

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), 4Gb / 128Gb

MBA mid-2012 also crashed after 1 yr and 1 month. Luckily Apple extended the warranty. But don't know how long it will take to repair due parts are not available.

Still no solution. Looks like there is firmware for Samsung edition avaliable, but non for Toshiba.

People with warranty, how Apple support handle with that? Changing to new ssd or restoring old one?

6 months? That's the youngest failure I've seen so far, guess that means the problem wasn't limited to the first couple batches. At least you can get it replaced for free.

same here, my MBA SSD drive, just die 😟

the main problem is not even the cost, is the lost information... i think apple already knows this, right?

I just fitted a replacement SSD from OWC. Pretty easy to do and alot cheaper than getting it done by apple.
