I have a new Dell Latitude XT tablet with a 64GB Solid State Disk Drive. I
am running XP on it.

Performance is abysmal. The machine hangs for long periods of time. It
appears that the hangs are associated with read/writes to the disk. The disk
light comes on absolutely steady during these hangs of the machine. The
hangs can be very long, over half a minute at times.

There is some talk about this in postings on the internet, notably around
Outlook 2007. I am running Outlook 2003 and I see the problem even with
simple (non Outlook) tasks.

Has anyone else seen it and do you have a solution?

>> running XP on it <<

please confirm that it is xp tablet edition

From casual observations since the large ssd's have come on the market,
there seem to be serious problems using them as primary hard drives.

I have followed three SSD cases and all have had problems on one sort or
another.

Suggest Dell tech support as your primary option... assume you are in
the return period, so, you have leverage... don't let them send you a
refurb if you return it.

First I have heard of this tablet... http://www.dell.com/tablet

....displaying a black computer on a black background... brilliant,
really brilliant ...if you want to make sure people can't get any
impression of the size and functionality ;-/

Yes - running "Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 Version 2002
Service Pack 3"

Yes, it is in a return window and that is the current plan for it unless a
miracle arrives in the next day or two. I've been actively trying to resolve
issue with Dell with no luck so far. I have numerous posting out on the Dell
Community pages as there. This is the current (and very major) issue but
have had several others.

Thank you.
