I´ve got a m14x r1 with bios a08 and i recently replaced the crappy standard harddrive to a ocz vortex 3. Everything works completely fine (even though its on the sata2 restricted thingie), but if i just close the lid and put the computer to sleep (not turning off) the computer goes to sata3 mode and intel rapid storage software tells me im on sata 3, 6gb. I even get proper sata 6gb speeds on tests. My only issue is that the system turns unstable during 6gb speeds and crashes after a little while
What should i do? dell support are total scumbags and just tell me they wont help me until i put back the original hdd.
btw, i got 3gb gt555, had issues when i downgraded bios.

What OCZ firmware are you using?

well.. either way i updated to 2.22 today and it doesnt get stuck anymore.. so atm its a pretty cool bug.. i startup the computer with 3gb/s and then put it in sleep mode and wake it up and im on stable 6gb/s

Maybe if (???) you want to try uninstalling Intel RST from device manager and then restart and let Windows 7 install default MSAHCI. This MIGHT help with the cool bug lol, and if not, it is fully reversible.
