First a few points to outline my situation: I have an MSI GT780DXR Laptop. This machine comes with a RAID setup from the manufacturer. It is now 3 years old. Last year i replaced the OS harddrive with a SSD drive (OCZ Agility 3) and everything was fine. Until recently, when my non-OS hdd showed first signs of imminent failure. I backed everything up and replaced the hdd with a SSHD hybrid drive (ST1000LM014-1EJ64). I initialized it, formatted it and restored the backup onto it.
Now the actual issue: When i startup the system there is like a 50/50 chance that the SSHD isnt recognized. All shortcuts are indicated as missing, in the BIOS there is no sign of it. The interesting thing is: A restart usually fixes this. It isn't a huge problem, but a curious one nonetheless. I have scanned the drive for hardware issues and found none. I have no further ideas what it could be. I recently had the machine serviced and they updated the BIOS and the SATA controller, so i am fairly confident that this isnt the issue either.
Anyone got any ideas what might cause this rather strange "disappearance" of my SSHD?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
