    I heard about the problem with crucial 2.5" ssds not recognized, but i hoped intel would be different. Tried cloning my HDD multiple times to no avail, Just a bit of warning to anyone looking for an ssd for their AW13.

    I've heard Intel M.2 SSDs working, but what is with this SATA bay?
    Did the BIOS not really detect the Intel SSD?

    nope, i used multiple programs too. Acronis, Easeus, clonezilla. Intel's Data migration software didnt even recognize the SSD at all.

    I hope a media rep sees this thread.
    I think only a BIOS update can fix this issue.

    The media reps seem to be strangely absent since the announcement of the new machines.
