SSD sometimes doesnt connect.

[hugteddy]

I bought a new mobo, gpu and cpu. Now one of my 2 SSD sometimes does not connect. If I restart the computer enough times it will work eventually. It will never stop working once computer booted and it works.

It sometimes can be a week before it stops again.

I have tried to change SATA port. I have tried to change sata cable. I have tried to change PSU cable.

I my other SSD and Hard drive works flawless.

Its a OCZ-Vertex2 120 GB

The wierdest thing is that if I have my cd burner connected. Only one can work.

Have you checked the windows partition manager (Disk management)?

 

Is it in raid or anything? Have you checked the BIOS?  And is it formatted correctly? You may need to change it's settings to AHCI, at least I think it's that. RAID might be giving you problems. I'm kinda stabbing in the dark because I'm still learning stuff on the LTT forums. As a last resort, maybe you could do a fresh install of the OS.

No. Yes. Yes. Have it on AHCI. Dont have raid. Tried to re install several times. Don't have OS on that SSD though.

What m/bd is it? It sounds like a polling problem with 2 Sata ports. You might have to change your m/bd, or change your 2 ssd's to one larger one.

just trash that ssd, before it takes any of your data. vertex2 were pretty bad and its no wonder, that it doesnt work properly for you.
