    Hi, I just bought a W150 HRM, I would like to install my SSD (MX-DS SSD series, New firmware), but the bios can not correctly identified. I change into a Seagate 7200.4 but no problem.

    I installed this SSD into the CD burner position (through the second drive cage), the results of the normal bios identification, and using good.

    Why is this so? :confused:
    Thanks

    That drive uses a slightly older Sandforce controller. It might be a compatibility issue between it and the SATA 6 Gb/s port in the hard drive bay. The optical drive uses SATA 3 Gb/s, which would explain why the SSD works there.
