Non-SSD Drive intermittent functionality
Hello. I received my Alienware 17 R4 back in August. Everything seemed fine except the second standard hard drive was not initialized. Disk manager-->format g2g. Few days later this new D drive stopped showing up at all. Opened the case and found the sata cable had a poor connection into the motherboard. Reseated and problem went away for a bit. The drive still fails to be recognized a rather high percentage of boots. ~10% Everytime I have to go back in and wiggle that cable. Has anyone else seen this?

Hi ,
Is this a 3rd party SSD? Our SSDs are M2 and they wont use any cables.
