Christopher, sorry for the late response.
Since the issue was on my work machine, I was regularly looking for a solution and didn't miss a BIOS update. It did not solve the issue. In May 2013 I bought a "Corsair Neutron CSSD-N240GBGTXB-BK" and dd'ed the complete image from the Intel device onto the Neutron and replaced the Intel drive.
