    My problem and question to Sony Vaio support team was:

    Hi, I just recently bought Vaio VPCEA1S1E laptop and decided to upgrade it with SSD hard drive, but there seems to have a serious issue with Sata drivers (or something like it) for it keeps on crashing down windows (famous blue screen). I've installed the Samsung 256Gb SSD hard diskand after a few minutes when transfering files the system crashes down suddenly with no windows error log. I already tried updating the Sata driver, but all that happens is that now the sistem is crashing only with transfering bigger files (from 1Gb up) from external drives to the SSD. The transferring starts well with 28Mb/s and after 15 seconds the transfer rate falls down to 3Mb/s and then the system crashes.
    At this point i don't know what to do anymore and i've read tons of forums all saying that it may have an issue with Turbo memory (wich my Vaio doesn't have).........
    So what i'm asking you is: dou you have a solution for this? Some driver update or something, because it's impossible for me to think, that Sony doesn't support SSD's.....ow, yeah, the very same SSD works fine with other laptops i've tried.
    Really looking forward for help!!!

    Thanks
