Can you plug the SSD into that as a non-boot drive? </P> Wed, 27 Jul 2011 02:19:42 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/problem-with-ssd/m-p/12661#M8976 idata 2011-07-27T02:19:42Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/problem-with-ssd/m-p/12662#M8977 <P>At the present no. My continued internet solutions search is unproductive and I fear I may be forced to purchase another drive and rebuild my system. Then I would use THIS drive as a non-boot. However, what is it that you want me to do by doing that??</P> Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:46:19 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/problem-with-ssd/m-p/12662#M8977 idata 2011-07-27T12:46:19Z
