Seems to be thinner than the Plesxtor I wanted to replace

I could be wrong but seems the slightest bit thinner thus not a tight connection. At any rate about one out of five times I boot up it's not found, either in the BIOS or by Windows. Not sure what my issue is, could be the motherboard but the Plextor is a tighter fit.
