So what's the deal on the second mSata? Sager vs. Clevo listing?

Just reinstall again hah that will make you start over lol.
Anyway hopefully it stays working proper.

Does the SSD manufacture have any firmware updates for the drives? Maybe they can help too.

Maybe it was threat of it going back and out of fear it decided it was time to act right.

 

It will be worth keeping an eye on bios updates for the machine if you get any issues in the future.

 

lol . I'm afraid I might reduce the life of the SSD if I keep on reinstalling. I must've reinstalled ~20 times already. One of the mSATAs came with the latest firmware already. The other one I updated myself. The only thing I did differently was I installed the with the RAID drivers that came with Windows 7. Then I was getting a BSOD trying to format my secondary drive, the 480GB Crucial M500. I updated with the RAID drivers from Sager/Clevo, but it was still BSOD'ing. Apparently, you need the latest Intel RAID drivers (12.8.*) for the M500's (strange that nobody else has reported this problem here, I had to check the Crucial forums). I had also swapped the two Plextors (put one in the other mSATA slot and the other in the other one, not sure if that mattered). But so far so good, so I'm just gonna keep a close eye, but not really tinker with drivers or anything anymore.

 

Don't worry about lifespan lol

 

Hello, I buy a Hasee K680C in China(it is the P157sm model), the sticker in the motherboard is 3.6A, I think it is the lastest board in this model. It is unlucky I also meet the problem of the secomd msata drop to sata II . The ssd I use is Toshiba THNSNF256GMCS, 256GB. I use two of them to create a RAID 0. The ssd on the port 4 will drop to SATA II(3Gb/s) sometime, it seems it is completely random. The port 5 is OK for SATA III(6Gb/s).
I have ask the reseller to change 3 laptops of this model. ALL of them have the same problem.
I know I could sell it and buy another 15.6 gaming laptop, but MSI GT60 has a worse cooling and the weaker performance for the same GTX780M. really sad.
I dont know whether the new P157sm-A handled this problem or the problem still is here.. But P157sm-A is selled with GTX 8xx card in China, so the cost performance is really low..

 

Hey I am a owner of Clevo p170SM I bought ut around February 2014. I am wondering with revision of mb fixed (or maybe not at all) the second msata port. I want to buy one msata drive for now and a second msata drive in future.

 

Have you checked your motherboard revision?

 

Yeah, my MB revision is 3.6A, chipset rev is 06 and southbridge rev is C2.

 

That's post change as far as I understand it.
