I'm not worried about it. If it happens, cool. If not, I'll live. Enough insanity happening in the world to be sweating a side panel!! I'ma keep an eye out though... Thank you for your help.
That's cool... I'm pretty much married to the XM. I'm just gonna continue to hold on to my delusion of hope that there's an unoccupied one out there willing to spend a great many years with me. Anyway, it worked with my wife eventually.
I had a consultation with a witchdoctor who told me if I turned on my Dremel or jigsaw in the next six months that I would suffer a grotesque mutilation of my private areas. If you don't respect voodoo, that's fine, but I'm not taking any chances.
Argh, sorry to hear about your friend.
I wrote down the serial number before I shipped it back (hehehe)! I will be sure to report back when the replacement arrives... (hopefully a different one!) I will give your Device Manager trick a go if I am still having issues. Hopefully it does not come...
I just did for SnG but no difference. There's something wacky with this thing.
I sent in for the RMA, I'll ship 'er off tomorrow.
Thank you for your help!
No, they are not.
I know, I know... I formatted it the long way a few days ago. I did the quick format yesterday because I had just spent 9 hours checking the disk for bad sectors which revealed none.
I suppose I will do that today... Only thing stopping me is not knowing why it's doing this...
The quick format didn't have any effect on the boot time... No idea what to do. Everything seems ok aside from the HDD causing Windows to boot slowly. I dunno if this is benign or an early sign of a more serious issue. I probably wouldn't care if the drive wasn't so expensive.
Weird.
I did, it says it's good (though these two are running hot in that Swap Bay). I also ran a disk check on the drive... It finally finished... Revealed nothing...
I'm stumped... I'm gonna quick format the disk right now and see if it has any effect since the scan didn't reveal any bad sectors...
It hangs around the Windows Splash Screen for a while before continuing on.
Your suggestion prompted me to time it and see if it was isolated to one of the drives. It was. The average time from powering on and entering the Windows desktop was about 38 seconds with neither of the drives, 1...
Should note that I'm booting from a 500gb SSD and that the boot order in the bios has these large HDDs in last place... The order of the SATA cables is also correct. They're in AHCI mode. Motherboard is an ASROCK Z97 OC Formula. Bios is up-to-date.
Hey guys, I'm having a curious problem.
Out of ease, I recently added two 5TB WD Black HDDs in my Hot Swap bay. After doing so, I noticed that the Windows load time had been increased significantly from a few seconds to almost a minute and a half. If I remove one of the HDDs from the bay the...
Desperate times...
Wondering if anyone out there has a line on anywhere or anyone selling the window side panel for the HAF XM. There was one for sale on the Cooler Master webstore and I snapped it up over the weekend, but found out today that my order had been cancelled and they are out of...
