OCZ "Vertex Series" SATA II 2.5" Solid State Drive

I found some helpful advice here

A firmware update is also mentioned (and highly recommended).

I'm not very computer savvy. I'd liken this problem to someone who buys a '92 Ford transmission for his '95 Chevy truck.

They both have four speeds, but the mounting holes, dimensions, shaft diameters and spline counts are unknown. They are not the same, but nobody can say for sure how to hook them up. So, you spend days doing the research that should have been done before the sale was made.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. But the guy who sells it to you can just shrug his shoulders and say, "It's not my fault, the transmission has an input shaft and an output shaft. It's up to you to hook 'em up and make 'em work."

Bill Gates is rich beyond your wildest dreams because he found a way to sell half developed software to fools who would de-bug it for free.

Never ever format a SSHDD under any conditions. It is not a physical drive, they are memory chips and do not need to be formatted. Erasing/deleting is the only way to clean unwated uneeded data. Formatting must never be done.

I'm afraid you are mistaken. Every storage system of every construction needs to be formatted (and optionally partitioned) and the same is true of solid state drives, see

It is worth noting that USB thumb drives also need to be formatted, but that is almost always done before they are sold.
Unfortunately the OP has not clearly stated his problem. If, after formatting the drive, he has removed the drive from the router and attached it to a computer, then it should be visible on that computer; otherwise there is a fault with the formatting or with the drive itself. However, if the drive has been left in place on the router, it is there to serve only as a buffer on the router, and there is absolutely no reason why it should be visible to any computer on the network. A non-problem, in fact.

Yes....you CAN reformat a SSD, I have several machines using them as boot drives.

What you don't want to do is defrag them. and in Windows 7 you don't have to as the OS uses the TRIM command that is far more SSD friendly and won't shorten its life.
