Default 32GB SimpleTech no show in BIOS - 09-08-2010, 12:46 AM

16GB SSD died, shows in bios but says its failing after post.
Bought cheap A$$ simple tech 32GB and it doesn't show in BIOS, I think the last thing I did was upgrade the BIOS to the current before determining the old SSD was toast.
Do I need to down grade to an earlier BIOS?

Thanks in advance!

What is the exact model of SSD you purchased? It might be a SATA model.

The invoice says
SUPER TALENT 32GB MLC Half Mini PCI-E Solid State/Drive
The sticker on the drive reads
Super Talent MADE IN USA
REM32GHDL
32GB Half Mini PCIe SSD

Win7 seems to be happy, so I'm just going to chalk this up to a $79 TMD cheap drive!

Ok, that's the older, slower SuperTalent drive. It should work.
