My wd Raptor drive on occassion loosens from its connection on my motherboard causing a bluescreen error (maybe one day all things will be wireless inside the box as well as outside).

If I reset the computer I don't see the drive during bootup and windows won't load.

When I open the box and press on this connector everything is fine no harm done.

Why is this type of connection so easy to undo? Why does it just undo itself after a few weeks of pressure from the cable going in one way?

You would think that there would be secure latch systems like on your cell phones charger and stuff like that. It's not hard and for something that would rarely be unconnected it just seems silly to me that this isn't done.
 
I'm assuming that you are using the default sata cable that came with your motherboard, correct?

If you are, then you need to ditch that cable and pick up the secure connect cable for WD Raptor drives. I use it on my 74GB raptor and it's much better than the crappy one's that come with the motherboard.

You can pick it up here:
