Hello,
this might be a (very) long shot, but Intel has something called a Virtual Small Block File Manager (VFM) which deals with flash memory file integrity in power loss recovery situations. Check this link, or search the Intel website for VFM:

To be honest I do not really know if there is any Intel component in the 3550 at all, but then again, Intel is everywhere...
Regards,
Georg
