But instead of showing вЂњwindows boot managerвЂќ as the 1st Boot device, it says Internal HDD devices. When I hit F2, it sees the new Msata fine. All files and windows etc reside on the 2TB drive. Now remember this Msata is a cache only drive. When installed the unit says вЂњno bootable deviceвЂќ. Also Dell tells me they have no stock of a replacement. They do not have any real knowledge of this unit and how it works and fall back on text book answers. In talking to Dell tech support, I get little of no support. Only issue I see in the machine performance is when I boot up I have to hit F1 to continue and then all is well. It has a PM830 Msata 64gb cache only card. If I find a solution I will proudly return to post it here рџ™‚ There are several other people with these XPS 2720s that seem to have done this similar hardware exchange and have not encountered this problem, which makes me wonder if thereвЂ™s something else IвЂ™m missing.ДЄnyways, itвЂ™s not really a huge problem to hit F1 after a restart, it just kind of irks me that it doesnвЂ™t work flawlessly! Call it OCD I guess.

Hmmm, or could one of the sata ports on the board be split into 2 with a special cable, since theyвЂ™re a serial format? I considered eliminating the optical drive and stealing the sata port and space from that, and maybe I will in the end.

However the reason I opted for the msata drive was because there are no additional available sata ports on the motherboard (or room to fit a full size drive for that matter). Good call on standard sata possibly getting powering faster, that may be the case. I will go back and check more thoroughly.

I had already scanned SamsungвЂ™s website for a firmware update but only found updates for the 840 models. I tried setting the boot priority so that вЂњInternal HDD devicesвЂќ was the last option in order to delay it for a moment and that actually works on rare occasion but mostly the error message persists.ДЄny input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

#Ssd no longer showing up drivers

Have you come across any other fixes for this? I have checked that the BIOS is the most recent version (A13), and the chipset drivers on DellвЂ™s website are apparently less current than the ones Windows auto installed.

I have to agree with your assessment that it simply doesnвЂ™t recognize the drive fast enough at POST.

Yet it still shows the error above at POST, and pressing F1 pretty much immediately always results in a normal startup with no other problems.

However, I had already set the BIOS to AHCI before I installed the drive and did a clean install of Windows 10. I installed a Samsung EVO 850 msata SSD as a primary drive and experienced the issue as described above. Hopefully your extensive knowledge can be of service to myself and others. Once this is complete, the machine boots normally each and every time! Donate to say 'Thanks' if this post has helped save you time and money! рџ™‚ Disabling RAID does require jumping through a couple of hoops, but itвЂ™s relatively quick and easy. The problem apparently seems to be related, at least in part, to how the system processes the communication between the drive and theВ chipset via the Intel RAID controller. So, then, whatвЂ™s the solution? Actually,В itвЂ™s precisely the same thingВ I posted in my previous update as a response toВ a completely different problem: bypass the RAID controller and use AHCI interface instead. However, this option does not exist within DellвЂ™s BIOS Setup. With other machines, the problem can be resolved byВ switching ON вЂњHot plug supportвЂќ (or similar) in the BIOS Setup. This indicates that the problem has to do with the machine not detecting the drive quickly enough during POST to continue with the boot process. Interestingly, if the user presses F1 to retry, the machine then boots normally. The message you will see on a Dell Latitude ifВ this happens to you is: Specifically, some of the newer Dell Latitude laptops (of which I purchase and service quite a large number) seem to struggle with Crucial SSDs. Reliability hasnвЂ™t been a concernВ with regard toВ the drives IвЂ™ve purchased for my clients, but on occasion, drive detection is a problem. I have seen this most recently with Crucial brand SSDs, which by and large haveВ proven to be a good value - when they work. Occasionally a BIOS update on the computerВ or a firmware update to the drive can resolve the issue, but other times, the drive may simply be incompatible. This applies most notably to sleep/resume and cold boot detection of these devices, which sometimes are not detected at allВ on specific systems. A relatively new form of problem which hasВ been introduced by the wider adoption of solid-state drives (and other drives with more particular power requirements than standard mechanical hard drives) is that of drive detection and compatibility.
