I've just built up my new Corsair 800D and i couldnt get the pc to post with the SSD in any of the hot swap drive bays i double checked all the cables where plugged in the right places but it just wouldn't work does this feature of the case support SSD ? i managed to get it to boot and recognise the ssd in the bios as primary boot device with the drive plugged stright into the motherboard so its not to much of a problem it just puzzled me why it wouldn't work :confused: as my normal hard drive does work in the hot swap bays and is picked up in the bios and windows so i know the chip that the drives plug into works..

Iv always had a issue with having to turn on my pc 2 times to get windows to boot up (the first time gets to the windows load bar then the screen goes blank every time) so at first i thought it was linked to this issue and i think this is the motherboard on its way out ? after that reset the pc works fine though so to me this is a wierd problem that i've just left with fingers crossed that it always loads up in the end.

I have this with my hotswap. My Corsair Force GT's are recognized but it will only boot off my OCZ Vertex 3. Seems to be a common issue that even a new panel doesn't fix in the main. what SSD's are you using.
 
Mine have been working fine for over a year now .. since the last time i swapped any drives infact.
Doesnt seem to like being moved around for some reason. wasnt just the ssd though has happened on mechanical drives too
 
im using a patriot inferno 120 gb ssd it wont work in the hot swap bays its just nice to know if it should or if others are having the same issue with ssd's
 
Like i said my OCZ Vertex works fine as long as its not hot swapped .. kinda defeats the object though.
