I've got a Dell Vostro 420 running fine as storage for our media computers. Movies load right up and all is well except that sometimes to restart the computer I have to press F12 and manually choose the boot drive which is a 4 year old Kingston SSD Now V300 120GB. Scanner reports no issues with the drive. I took it out and scanned it for viruses with several scanners. I used Kingston's drive software which reported it healthy.
I cloned the drive and the clone, an out of the box Evo 860 behaved exactly the same way. So I guess it's something corrupt in the Windows 7 OS.
I mentioning this first on the off chance someone has a suggestion - once the computer is booted it runs fine for months on end with no errors.
This is prompting me to consider a new machine. Is there a Drive Pool migration tool?
