I've got a Crucial M4 128GB SSD attached to an AUS P8Z68V-Pro/GEN3 motherboard on a SATA3 port. I have noticed that the partition type according to DISKPART is 0E, which according to Microsoft is FAT 16 bit, Win95 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69912).
Some potentially helpful background info: My system originally came with a different SSD in it with Windows 7 X64 installed on it. I upgraded to this current SSD to get more space and to utilize the SATA3 capabilities of my board. I cloned the old SSD to the current one using True Image Home 2012 and in that process, I increased the size of the partition to max out the new SSD's partition size (~128GB vs ~80GB on the old SSD).
My system works fine, is very fast and the SSD benchmarks very well, so I am not tempted to do anything drastic about it but I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on why this is? Seems as though it should be partition type 07.
