Clevo P375SM-A dropping Samsung 2Tb hard drives

Heya,

my new clevo p375sm-a has just been shipped, and the retailer told me that they had been having problems with the p375sm-a dropping the samsung 2tb hard drives, and forcing you to restart the laptop, and did i want to change the hard drives for something else,

from all of my googling i have not found anyone else with a problem like this, and i spoke to another retailer how sell this laptop, and he told me, he has never heard of a problem like this,

so im now asking the internets, does anyone own a clevo p375sm-a with samsung 2tb hard drives? and if so, have they had this problem or heard of this problem,

the other reason i am asking is cause i have had some problems with the retailer by stuffing me around with the delivery date (they told me i will have it within 5 days) and that was 3 weeks ago, then it went from clevo doesnt have any of the p375sm-a or the w230ss models, and they dont have any stock of the 4940 cpu for the 375, on a friday, to they have both been shipped on a monday.

cheers for everyones help

Sounds like a clevo problem with that laptop if it's true. I have a 9380-s and have no problems with those harddrives at all. I have 2 installed. But then again, I got the external versions and took them out of their casing to make them internal so who knows.

Did you get any resolution of your problem? - I have an identical problem with my Clevo P375SM-A - it is getting progressively worse and can only access my second drive every 8 or 9 boot ups.

The disc access light flashes continuously and the laptop starts to heat up and it continuously tries to poll the missing drive

it doesnt happen very often, i have noticed maybe 1 in 10 bootups, but then again it has always there in windows, just not in the bootup screen

i dont know what is going on,

i was thinking of installing the prema mod, and see if they does anything
