They set it up for 'caching' to speed up the PC (you know, the kind of caching you have when you buy a cheap USB drive to speed up your computer?).

While in the repair facility they reinstalled Windows 7 (again) and this time they remembered to install the drivers for the hardware acceleration but they formatted the SSD drive wrong. Even 5 minutes of actually trying to use the PC to surf the web or listen to a MP3 and you see how broken it is. At that point I wondered if they even test these PC's after repair by logging in and using them. They replaced the SSD drive that runs the hardware acceleration and to my surprise that DID fix the 'sata drive 2 has stopped functioning' error but the persistent freezing and hanging remained, rendering the laptop useless. The day it returned from the repair facility a feeling of gloom hung in the air, deep inside I knew it wouldn't be fixed. I was impressed by how fast I got the computer back and would have been even more impressed if they had actually fixed the problems. I would like to say it ends here but replacing the hard drive did not solve the issue, I was still receiving the error message so they promptly sent a box for me to ship the laptop into their service facility. Again Alienware failed to provide me with what I paid for. I don't mind solving my own issues, I am accustomed to it, but I paid $500 for a warranty to save myself the time of having to do it. I resolved the hardware acceleration issue with a quick google search while being put on hold by the agent (after I got tired of being told nothing was wrong) but the hanging and freezing still remained. The computer was dirt slow and completely unusable but the agent I spoke with over the phone assured me for two hours that everything was working fine. After reinstalling windows the tech agent failed to set up the Intel Raid Storage Technology application that controlled my hardware acceleration (that I paid for), and the original freezing and hanging returned but worse this time. They replaced hard drive number two (in my Raid 0 config) and had to reinstall windows. Never Buying Dell Again.ДЄbout a month and a half ago I received a 'sata drive 2 has stopped functioning error' from the Intel Rapid Storage Technology application and had to call tech support again. Unhelpful and they never told me what was wrong with my original (2nd) unit. And to be honest I don't even want it anymore. Now I am stuck with no device because the company can't get it right the first time.

Nope they just sent me to Limbo and hung up. Why? So I call and proceed to tell them my case and ask about compensation like some of money back or even a new system. It is now Monday, they sent me an email saying they haven't confirmed anything yet. Last week they called me to confirm I did that was Friday. So proceeded to tell them how they should have sent me unit to begin with.

I then proceed to tell them how my Nvidia Shield TV took a dive and Nvidia literally sent me a new one in like 4 days - fast, responsive, the way it is meant to be. I asked them, 'Why can't you send me a new system that's what I paid for?' Their response is they can only send me a refurbish policy and all, it's like new. It's the tail end of February, so they offer me a refurbished aka reject system. Are you serious? The system just came out in November. I get an email that they can't fix it because they can't get me a replacement part. I have gone through two of their systems (I once owned a video game store) that is never reassuring when something like that happens. So now I call Dell with this problem and enplane to them in less than 24 hours. A few hours later turn it on and now it is now flashing yellow and nothing turns on. So I took it home worked fine for a bit then I decide to turn it off.

So I took it back the next day to where I purchased it from. Said to send Technician to my home again to replacement hard drive. Called Dell Tech Support, did diagnostic by pressing F12 etc.
