When i cold-start my computer everything is fine, but when I restart my computer from within a freshly installed windows-7, the drive is not found.
If i turn off the computer and start it again, the drive is found and boots up again as usual. So the drive fails after reset.
I have upgraded the firmware of the SSD to the latest version via the SSD toolbox but still no luck. also updated laptop bios to latest version.
I had no problems in the past with the Intel SSD 510 edition.
Any ideas on what to do?Clarification:
So, when I insert my Intel 510 SSD and start windows and restart windows it works without problem. But with the Intel 530 it wails when I do restart, the BIOS does not find it after a normal reset. So that must conclude that the Intel SSD 530 has some bug? or is sensitive to some timing issue?
Should I return it? or just assume its incompatible with my laptop?

Florian, have you tried the latest BIOS update from Lenovo? I was having this same problem with my W530, but all it needed was a BIOS upgrade, and Lenovo's latest update did the trick.

I know there is a BIOS update for W530 but not for W520.I am running the last BIOS which unfortunately is published on 29 Aug 2013.

Makes sense -- a BIOS update fixed this on our X230's, but not the X220's. I suspect the T420 (same generation as the 220 and 520) won't work either, though we haven't had to test it yet.

Just in case anybody cares, we had the chance to try an SSD 530 in a Lenovo T420 this week. Unfortunately, I was right - same problem. 😞
