    I have had the laptop for over a month now, been great no issues.

    Installed a m.2 drive to replace the cache drive. 1tb is storage. All of a sudden today I got a random windows notification that Intel RST removed an SATA drive??

    Now my D: (1tb) drive is straight up missing, even from disk management?

    Intel RST app shows 'missing' under the sata slot.

    Any thoughts here?

    Ok so I opened it up, removed the cage, took off and reattached the cable to the hdd and its running fine. It looked fine before I popped the cage. :dunno:

    Also, side note if anyone runs into this. Before I closed up the case, I booted it to check and the trackpad wasn't pushing down on the lower left corner. It still worked with the tap. I figured it was something to do with the pressure of the case, but when I closed it up same thing happened. After pushing and wiggling it clicked into place. I think the trackpad got shoved down (like towards the user when you are using the laptop) and must have got jammed in or something.
