Hello friends.
Problem::
As my Lenovo was taking a few minutes to boot (boot + authentication in Windows 10); I thought it would be a good idea to replace the optical disc drive (DVD player) for a caddy and then install an SSD drive.
That done, I decided to migrate the HDD contents to the SSD to use it as a data drive. Did not work. So I made a backup, formatted and reinstalled windows.
I installed the SSD in SATA 1 and another SSD in the Caddy. Became the HDD in an external drive.
Unfortunately, what has happened is that after a few days of use, Windows fails to recognize the SSD installed in the caddy.
I thought it could be the power settings under "Power Options"; then, I put everything to keep the laptop on all the time.
If it were so; SSD would disappear and then appear again - yet the drive just vanishes.
I've tried using CHKDSK at the prompt to try to restore any error but without any luck.
What solves is usually use diskpart; delete the volume; format (quick format does not work).
Good; format the SSD every two days kind of defeats the purpose of having an SSD.
I do not know if anyone has had the same problem ...
1) I do not know if I can give update the UEFI to make the drive to optical media on all the time.
2) I do not know if the Chinese caddy sucks.
3) I do not know if the idea of using a caddy itself is a bad idea; but I would like to have 2 SSDs running on my laptop.
Thanks for any information
