Hi,
And thanks for your response.
Wow !
You certainly seem to have put a lot of effort into helping me resolve this issue.
Sadly, I deleted the original from my HDD after exhausting all the options I had at the time, and by ensuring that all the options available, such as AHCI, EUFI, switch off Search, switch off Defrag, etc., were done before this action.
Since then, I have successfully updated the Firmware for the SSD, but it is still reported as a standard, removable drive.
It was shown as a SSD BEFORE I started using Acronis, by the OS and the BIOS, so I shall not touch Acronis again with a barge-pole !
My original intention to use the SSD as a System Only Drive, and the 1 Terra HDD for everything else, has only partially worked, as many of the executables installed to the HDD , ( such as Graphics Drivers ), all tend to create a bottle-neck between the SSD and the HDD.
Having saved a few pennies over the months, I now intend to buy another SSD, but probably from a retailer with more support.
I shall use the original SSD as my Mainly-Windows-Only drive, the new SSD as a peripheral drivers Drive, such as sound, visual, office, and the HDD for merely pics, sounds, and backups.
Once again, thanks for your efforts.
