    I have owned the SZ650 for 3 three days.
    I found the hard drive light sometimes always flashing, especially during boot up and shut down.
    1. The hard drive runs almost 3 min after the vista desktop shows up and everything is loaded.
    2. Shut down the system almost take 5-7min.
    3. Althought the score of the Hard drive is 4.7, it seems slow than my SZ160 and Sz460.
    4. Maybe it because of the 256M NV flash RAM? It needs to fill the ram first when start up or save the ram into harddrive when shut down?
    5. Another possibility is the video card will share more than 700M ram, it also take some time for the hard drive?
    Who has the same experience, please help me! :)

    I even tried a clean installation of vista, the same as my SZ460. Every function works well. But the same of the hard drive.

    Thanks in advance.
