Hi,

I was wondering, what version of bios do you have? I tried using hyper-v but it tells me that i need to enable from bios the vt-d option. Problem is everything is enabled, i tried a lot of fixed on the internet and still nothing so i wondered if it's a bios issue.

Thanks

Nice review, Dan.

Another thing I wish our W510s had is the ability to more easily swap out the main drive. The T61P had it on the side, and you could just leave out the screw that held on the cover, and snap it out and pull the drive very easily. The W510 needs the screw underneath to hold the cover on. Not as handy.

Yeah.. I'm loving this thing as a server. My 2nd-bay SSD and my eSATA-connected SSD are giving my Hyper-V servers some amazing performance. I just wish I could afford another 160GB SSD to use as the main drive, and this thing would scream.
