Hi
I had installed a SSD drive last week and it only lasted 3 days.
While I wait and see if they RMA me a replacement, I have a question.
I cloned the SSD from my hard drive which is were Win 7 was installed.
So when I installed Win7 to the hard drive it installed drivers and other stuff for the hard drive.
Should I not have installed Win 7 to the SSD with a fresh install, so the drivers etc. would more appropriate for a SSD drive?
Thanks

Not really, your cloning of the 100% fully functioning drive to the SSD was just fine. Sorry to hear about the failure.
