I purchased a 520 series 120GB SSD a week ago. It is on a MSI Z77A-GD65 on the 6GBps Sata 3 port.
The drive has random issues when booting from a cold boot. I will get the windows 8 logo and before the spinning circle appears it locks up. Also from hibernation windows is frozen. Also at times the drive from a reboot or a cold start will take well over a minute to start up.
I have all the latest drivers etc, i am in AHCI mode and my bios settings are correct. Yet this drive has been a problem since day one. Is it a DOA or what?
I have no problem with my old Sata drive on the same hardware...
