Did you get it sorted out?

Mine is pretty quiet when I use it so what you have doesn't sound normal. Is your pc brand new? You may need to have Dell replace the drive, unless your tech savvy enough to take your laptop apart and check it more closely. I would only suggest that if you are very comfortable with disassembling your laptop, because just to access the drive you have to pretty much disassemble the whole thing.

I know that the TactX keys are separate from the keyboard, they are on their own. So their intensity may be separate from the keyboard's.

This is an easy one for me: Nvidia. I have tried a few times to give AMD a try it has backfired on me. Every desktop I have made with AMD has had issues with crashing and general instability. I decided to give their laptop version a chance with my first Alienware. It was ok but it still left something to be desired. I don't like that it took them forever to update their drivers, when Nvidia does it almost weekly to improve their cards. In the year that I had my AMD Alienware I think they update their card drivers twice. Though, I think part of that problem was that I could not use their drivers I had to wait for Dell to put then out because AMD's drivers would break the video card switching. I don't have that problem now with Nvidia. Physix support didn't bother me so I don't count that against them.

I agree. I didn't have that problem either. I think you might need a replacement.

It shouldn't need any special ribbon. It sounds like a unique problem, have you tried updating the bios? It's worth a shot since A09 just came out. You said you tried them separately and they work fine. What about trying the separately on the two SATA ports you are trying to raid them on, to make sure that its not the ribbon cable.

Finally! Why doesn't dell post these on their site? Thanks for the files!
