JCrichton Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 This is basically me just bitching at this point but I think something is wrong with the Momentus XT in my unit. Every so often I'll get a hang in the system (typically close to booting up) and then I get that error msg followed by the drive dissappearing (D in this case, the Intel 510 is my main drive). It has "come back" every time it's gone away after a reboot but I've now seen it between 3-5 times. Also, something is making a squeaking noise. Argh. Something tells me I'll be popping this thing open again to remove the drive and start the troubleshooting there. ... I really hope it's not the Intel SSD.

Founder Brian Posted May 25, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 25, 2011 Looks like the Seagate might be on its last leg if its squeeking and disappearing like that. Might want to back up your data asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCrichton Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yeah, that was my first thought. It was the one that came with the M18x, too.Data is all set. Moved everything to the C drive. Argh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get home I'll download some benching software from the other threads and post some stuffs. I've been mainly trying to optimize the Intel 510 and I think I've squeezed out as much as I can.
