Intel Gen1 SSD cleanup

What do you accomplish by hot plugging. Hate to put my hand into a box under power when I can avoid it.

It keeps bios from locking the controller. With the controller locked, it will not accept a secure erase command. As I understnd it, when the computer boots the bios locks the controller. Hot plugging keeps it from doing that. It is the same way for the intel toolbox, it tells you to hot plug it.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will risk my life. Maybe I put mittens on. LOL

Your biggest risk will be a running fan hitting your knuckles and startling you.

I wil delegate the task to the wife - she sees better.

WHS,
Dollars to Donuts your wife is way too smart to follow any task/mess you have
gotten yourself in...

Now what have you heard from Sony????
Not going to ask again or I will slap you. hehehe
Just remembered you like to be slapped.
THW

The wife loves to help. She is a computer guru herself - but on other subjects than myself. We complement each other.

No word from Sony yet.

" We complement each other."
She is always right and you are always in the dog house....I have the same arrangement here.
Best wishes to the both of you for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.
