Re: MSata Question
Ever since installing msata and dropping the OS on it I get random blue screens. Sucks! Wiping it installing OS on my ssd and using msata for storage. Sucks.
Re: MSata Question
Which machine do you have and how did you install the OS?

Re: MSata Question
Thinkpad t520 windows 7 64 bit.
When I reinstalled the win 7 on the main ssd.. i noticed that the msata was going in and out from being recognized. The last thing I did was open the machine up and remove the black plastic cover from the card which I left in. It was like a place holder or somrething. Possible the card over heated or something?

Re: MSata Question
Did a clean install btw off a disk. It finished just fine and was up and running. then the blue screens started.

Do you have the i7 and does it say anything in Event Viewer?

Re: MSata Question
Yes i7 and nothing specific in event viewer. Just said critical error possibly caused by power failure etc

Do you have the latest BIOS/updates?

Re: MSata Question
Yes. I just ended up doing a clean install over again. It was going well for a while, and then suddenly the drive was no longer recognized. Windows froze and when i open Computer C: is missing. Yup. Super unstable, so I am rebuilding the OS on the ssd 2.5 drive. I give up.
Re: MSata Question
I encountered similar problems with my mSata T50 on a T420S.
Occasionally it would BSOD with a POWER STATE error - I think the msata goes missing.
Might be a power management thing.
My plan is probably to go back to just using the SATA drive.
