Hi guys and gals,

I've got a Crucial CT512MX100 SSD drive and an Asus Crosshair VI Hero motherboard. The SSD is the boot drive and I also have a 3Tb and 1Tb 3.5" hard drives. It seems like every few days the system stops seeing one or more disks, always the Crucial SSD and sometimes the 1Tb WD as well. I keep restarting and looking in the BIOS and they're still missing. Sometimes it takes a few restarts for it to rediscover the drives, other times I've had to power off and left overnight and it's fine the next day. I've also had success when changing the SATA cable to a different port, or unplugging both 3.5" drives. The solution isn't consistant.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Jed
