    Hi

    It would appear that about 10 seconds into windows boot, my hadr drive light goes from blinking to permanently on. -_-

    i've installed the dell rapid storage driver and upgraded my bios to the latest version.

    Anyone else seeing this? lol always some new lovely issues as i fix others. great.
