1. Could this be a hard drive or another problem? Samsung magician says drive is good and all setting are fine. Not getting what I expected for readings but to sure what they should be either. SR 318, RR 57395, SW 516, RW 59782. I believe it is the fan I can hear almost constantly. It seems to cycle on low and go to full speed and settle back down constantly. I installed fan control but it is still happening.
2. I have it in series 3 docking station which seems to be apiece of #$%^%$#. Why would a company design a docking station that covers up the fan outlet?
3. When flipping through web pages I must wait. I have an old core 2 duo and it is faster than this with SSD.
4. I downloaded HDDScan 3.3 and for some reason it will not run. Not sure why. Tried to uninstall and there is no uninstall link.
5. Is there a driver or something I need for the docking station. I have read where others have a undock button when they want to undock while in windows.
6. Could there be a problem with windows?
I have windows 7, 64 bit and my anti virus is Kaspersky. I have undocked it to write this post and have not heard the fan running at all, however I am not flipping through web pages. FC says cpu is 61 degrees c. Tried to change Fan Control from C to F but cannot figure out how.
