Raptor X - Slow to Initialize on Boot ?

I need to recheck my cabling ?

but anyone had a drive start to fail where sometimes its just not detected on boot ?

Bios then remaps all the drives as it thinks its been removed

restart PC and its there but have to go into bios to re-swap around order

is this a sign of it failing ? its almost as if its taking a long time to spin up ?

thanks, Mark.

Gotta agree - it sounds like that drive is on it's way out. Copy your data whilst you still can!

thanks

everythings backed up to some extent - but rebacking up now .. !

I did install a new HDD other week (WD 1TB Black) - so I need to check that perhaps the sata cable isn't slightly out of the back of the Raptor - but I doubt it
