If it is same slow, then you know a hardware problem. Check the BIOS configurations of the harddrive, mybe something has changed by the ssd exchange. If there is nothing obvious bad, try the ssd in another computer (with the same livefile test) and see the results. If this is better, you can also try to reflash the BIOS (in case, the BIOS has trouble itself). Sometimes a mainboard needs a newer BIOS for newer hardware. This depends on the manufacturer. Check his sites. Last but not least, exchange the cables, maybe one makes trouble. Hope this helps Best Hans > Hi all, > > The mSATA SSD in my Thinkpad W530 was getting full,.
